Anyone done business with Wholesale Tool Company
(http://www.wttool.com/ )? I may have to settle for a bench top mill due to
room requirements . They have a square column machine that comes with some
tooling that I can afford ... barely , since the wife got a newer car
yesterday .

I have. Not bad. Good prices, fast shipping. Some American but mostly
Asian import. If you know what your looking for they are great! I've
ordered from them a number of times without any problems.

Hey Snag,

Yep. Very reputable company, buuuutttt....they have a wide range of
quality, or should I say prices. If you look at a Bridgeport in the
over $10,000 range, don't expect to buy something the same quality for
under a 1000 bucks. Just be sure that you go to their showroom and
have a look for yourself.

Take care.

ps........the store I go to is noted for their "buy-it-by-the-pound
surplus tooling good deals if you happen to see it first".

I appreciate the input ! I'm looking at the square column bench top mill
they have for $1295 . I'm expecting if I purchase it that it will need to be
completely disassembled , cleaned , lubed , and trammed before I even fire
it up . Lathemaster sells the same machine for a bit more ... might come
down to the shipping which is more cost effective for me .
I'd lots rather have the Van Norman I looked at a few weeks ago , but
it's 4,000 lbs , 165 miles away , and I haven't got room for it . If I build
a bigger shed , I won't have enough for a mill ... sigh . In this case
smaller may be my only choice .

Most of my purchases have worked out okay. Only exception was a R8 saw
arbor that had multiple diameter capability. I turned it into a one
diameter arbor.

Their prices on R8 insertable milling cutters are great.
