Default Bridgeport. Wow

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

I looked at this again more closely (I was driving when I first

What a piece of trash this is and what a bull**** artist, claiming
this is a Bridgeport mill!

This rusted head is missing a lot of stuff, worth $150 alone at best,
and with the rest attached, it is worth just $60.
