I am thinking of buying a new mill. Airgas has a Chinese knee mill
on sale with table drive and digital read out for $5000

I will sell my current cheap Chinese mill for $500 FOB Santa Paula.
You pick it up. Good shape. Works fine. 3 HP at 110 volts single phase
but can be wired for 220 single phase. No cuts or gouges in table.
R8 taper. Same as Bridgeport tooling.

Paul,  is the Airgas mill an Acra?   I bought mine from them about
three years ago.  It is a cut above  most of the imported Chinese
mills.   I have had no problems with it at all.   Jerry

No it is a Birmingham. It looks very much like the Acura.  The Acura is 
twice the price. I would not even consider one of these things if I did 
not have such good luck with the Enco I now have and I am trying to sell.
Ernesto likes it but I think he wants me to give it to him :)

I forgot to mention that mine comes with a stand. Mine weighs about
660 pounds. Massive cast iron is massive cast iron :)
