But unless the ways are trashed, I think that one could actually end up
with something better than a Chinese machine at a price consistent with
a new mill/drill piece of crap.

Damn. If I'd seen this last year at this time, I'd be heading out there
with a truck and a checkbook.


It's a Bridgeport head, but the rest of the machine does not look like a
Bridgeport.


It looks a lot like a Benchmaster with a BP head. This is something I'd
like to do with my Benchmaster.
