I got this along with approx. 14 tons of other stuff at a certain
factory.

My question is what do you guys think about this milling machine as a
general shop mill. for fixing broken stuff and such.

thanks


I've heard those things were pretty capable metal movers. Tooling
might be a problem. Some of the Van Normans used a non-standard
taper.
