[QUOTE="257X50, post: 2059135, member: 67903"] 40 years in the trade. Never production...... The PM are nice. got to buy new a couple of times. A Hardinge HLVH and a SuperMax mill. Could of had a Bridgeport...... Bridgeport is a versatile machine. But not a great mill. The SuperMax had square ways and a few more inches of Y travel(that means a lot. And I got to spend the difference in tooling. things are different now. And Gunsmithing doesn’t use the mill near as much. Don’t know your big picture for use........ Any of the Taiwan latheswould do. A gun smith does not do much compared to other trades on the lathe. This could be a long treatise......PM me a number and we will talk. I bought used.......13x30 Graziano. Look at others that size......this one weighed 2300 lbs. lol [/QUOTE]
