I'd be happy with the "Ranger" with an smaller "SVO" just under the end of Ranger !  LoL !

BUT wrong plate size for me and it would be a one-off item... out cometh the Hand Grinder !
If I could only find a used Milling Machine CHEAP !

LoL !

Jim, Good Luck on the SALES !

The dies are what is expensive. I have a neighbor that has a Bridgeport but only a dozen or so dies. He is retired ME and picked it up when the company he worked for went CNC.

I like that... buying for scrap prices.

I had the chance a number of years ago, to buy a Bridgeport with 200 hours, for $1500, I should have but didn't think I would have a need for it !


Something you said... "Dies", what are the Dies used for on a Milling Machine ?  Thx


I thought it was just a matter of moving the table in the direction you want to cut ?


Thx
