Trust me, I really do understand this relationship, which is why I got the
HF *mill*-drill, looking for a milling machine. As I said, it's crap as a
milling machine (for example, the lead screws on the X-Y table are 6 TPI -
man, is that a giant PITA!)

I'm willing to bet that they are really metric screws (4.25mm pitch (0.1673"
per turn, instead of 0.1667"/turn)). Of course, neither is very useful,
but the 4.25mm might be better with metric dials. :-)

As I said, I'm sort of on the fence about selling it; checking what else is
out there, it seems like it might go for as much as $500 or so. More than
the money though, I just hate to have it sitting around unused, and there's
always the space issue. Damn, I just don't know...

I would like it -- but I'm on the wrong side of the country.
And even if I were local to you, I would feel guilty taking something
out of the family. The only power tool which I got from my father was a
6" grinder -- which he got in trade for an anchor. However, *I* got use
out of it as a kid and later.

Enjoy,
DoN.
