Grant,

That is a good point! I am in Brampton, Ontario (Toronto). Welcome
any other comments.

I have been looking at the new mills as well. But it seems a number
of people have indicated that the Taiwan versions were/are much better
than the Chinese. This machine is a Taiwan machine, about 5 years
old.

Eric, you should really post your location. If you lived in BC, for instance,
you might be interested in a really nice little Burke knee mill, R8 spindle,
for sale in NW Washington State for $1600. Who knows how many NG readers near
you don't mention deals like that because you don't post your location? - GWE

I found what I believe to be a true RF-45 mill (9.5x32 table) with
cast iron bench; CA$3,000 (Approx.=US$2450) with tooling (8 collets,
drill chuck, 8 parallels, 5" swivel vice, small facing head, some end
mills, clamping kit. Table travel is unusual 11.5"x18.5" It is quite
noisy at higher speeds. I am considering this for my basement.

The price seems on the high side, but I would like to hear the
opinions of others... Is this a good deal or not?
