Ok I guess I have two problems. No, make that three. I don't think I can fit a full bridgeport BUT I am a person that would rather old American than new ANYTHING. Second, I don't really know why I want this mill but I know I NEED IT. Third, assuming I can find an old American piece of machinery like the $500 model Tim shows above (I would prefer over this Jet or other mini things), there don't seem to be that many on craigslist.
Will buying a $400-$500 mill ruin the experience and make me think "I can't do this?" Or will a bridgeport just be faster? I have a couple machinist friends with tons of bridgeports so I know how nice the tools are but I don't really know how bad the little imports are and I also don't know if bridgeport even makes the smaller stuff?
