One of my engineers has that one - he uses it mostly on Al and is satisfied but for any harder alloys it can have too much slop - at least that is what he found to be true.

I wonder if you couldn't get your hands on an old Bridgeport for a mach shop that has upgraded. A few times a year I seem to come accross a shop that is dumping their old one for a new model. They are big but bulletproof. If I had a barn to store one in I would snag one for trasnpo costs. The midwest should be filthy with them - check out shops in the Detroit aera, I bet they are gonna be a bunch filing chapter 11.
