[QUOTE="carlbobh, post: 1459160, member: 69675"] Just make sure you get the features you need . for me I wanted to be able to tilt the head for angle milling and good range of speeds. Used was ok for me .. waited around and got an Enco Benchtop. By bench top it just means it is short, weighs in at 700 lbs. Made in 1985, works great. Watching some mill video one day I noticed the mill the guy was using was the exact same thing as the enco but was a Grizzly G3103. Little checking, turns out that HF sells the same exact model as Enco made in 1985 and Grizzly sold even recently. It shows 230, mine does 115/230. Something to check out. I did have to make one modification and add a riser to get more vertical room. Too heavy for most bench, so made a base. Came with power feed.. Since have added inexpensive DRO. Enco 100-5100 [ATTACH=full]101310[/ATTACH] HF Version [URL]https://www.harborfreight.com/vertical-milling-machine-40939.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
