Sometimes the gods smile on us mere morals... how about a Clausing 8530,



29x6.5" table, new motor, new spindle bearings, minor dings in the table,
6" vise, 7 MT2 collets and some junker spare parts for a broken feed X axis power feed?

How about a whopping $250.00 Plus shipping of course... which will probably be more than the mill. Time maybe to sell the small Benchmaster... naw!



Besides, three mills are better than one (Burke Millrite, this "new" Clausing and my old standby, a rebuilt Benchmaster). CNC retrofit time!!! Whee, more fun in the shop!!

FM Well, I'm not amoral, but I want to be.

FM The second milling machine is always the best. The third's a mere confirmation of its predecessor's importance. FM

Since you already HAVE the Burke I won't suggest what I did in a similar situation ...

Convert the Benchmaster into it's horizontal format. It's great to have BOTH a vertical and a horizontal mill.
