Looks to be about the same price (or even more) as a used Bridgeport. Does this REALLY use less floor space than a Bridgeport? How much less, looks to be about 6". One advantage of the Bridgeport mill is there is loads of collective experience about how to do a first-class CNC conversion. And parts like ball-screw kits are inexpensive.
In the end, it comes down to what kind of parts you plan to make. I don't have much need for parts larger than will fit in my hand so the mini-mill is OK. But I think the next step up is a "full-size" machine. On Sat, Feb 6, 2021 at 2:52 PM Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > Greetings all; > > My patience with the GO704 is about used up.
