Re: Grizzly Mill/Drill
my bad, I see the mill/drill now, and not a mill/lathe combo. Sorry that was the first thing that popped into my head.
At any rate, I think a mill/drill can work well if you are only going to use it for small projects. I pondered this topic over and over myself, trying to find a somewhat affordable way to get into a milling machine. I scoured craigslist locally, hoping for a deal on a Bridgeport or equivalent used machine, and after growing tired of looking without a mill, I ended up picking up a small clausing 8520. I really like the mill, but it is small and limited. If you don't plan on doing any larger work, a mill/drill might fit your needs nicely, I have a buddy who does a fair amount of work on one, and seems to like it pretty well.
