I have been saving money, and would like to purchase a nice mill that
I can fit in my limited space. Deckel seems to be the choice. Are
there any similar mills, and does anybody have one for sale or know
where I can locate one. Thanks for your time.

You might consider buying a new A-1 type mill for about $2000 and then
putting a DRO on it. This allows you to use standard machine accessories
which are much less costly that Deckel accessories. The DRO is a lot
cheaper than paying for the precision screws of a Deckel or Aciera which may
or may not be well maintained. If you want collets for it, go with the
ER-32 so that you can do everything at the spindle.

Aciera F3 also is a fabulous
small mill if you can find one.
I have one you might consider,
which is in great condition,
in fact almost new. The good
ones are expensive though.
