Hi everyone, I am about to purchase a used milling machine, such as a Bridgeport OR buy a new CNC milling machine, such as a Tormach. I have only up to $7000. to spend and I am in Canada, so that limits me somewhat.
I have some experience will manual milling and also with writing basic G-codes. I know that I can get a heavier machine if it is a manual mill, but I would like to get into CNC. None of the things that I will build will need to be done
fast.
Would it be better to buy a used Bridgeport from Craiglist, or similar site for around $5000 or pay another $2000 on a new or newer cnc milling machine.
