Here's a quick & dirty photo of my new-to-me milling machine. Bought & paid for today, picking it up and swapping out the clapped-out Bridgeport on Tuesday. More to come after it's in.
For now I can say it's a 2HP Alliant made in Taiwan, fitted with ball screws on the X and Y axes and a Prototrak 2-axis control with 3 axis readout. Excellent condition, unprintable price (dirt cheap!!) and the seller is giving me the pallet truck it's sitting on. Throwing in a 20-piece quick change R8 setup, plus all the documentation and an OE mini cassette recorder for storing programs.
All I can say is that this is one of my best scores ever!

It's not much to brag about in regards to being a CNC machine, but it WILL make parts, and can make two or more the same. That's something I couldn't say about the outgoing 1960 Bridgeport. ;)
