milling machine
I've recently been eyeing some benchtop sized mills on ebay. you can score them for around $300, and the uses seem endless. Anyone here have one in their shop? Think of all you could do with a mill and a lathe handy....

I have seen many nice South Bend and Browne & Sharpe bechtop size mills, they are old and well built and bring top dollar, Alot of home shop machinsts like the sherline and many use the imports quite successfully.
I wouldnt buy an import I will either find a B&S or South Bend benchtop or wait until I build a new garage and just get a floor model bridgeport from the 40's..........dont get much better than r8 collets, Bridgeport the SBC of mills, clones and aftermarket parts everywhere, Bridgeport R.I. they just auctioned the plant off about 6 months ago
