Hi guys,
First time post so I'm hoping I'm putting this in the right spot. I'm looking at buying a Wells indexing milling machine with a Bridgeport series 1 2 HP machine for $500. I'm new to metal working and this would be my first milling machine. My question is that the pictures of the machine show that the table has some gouges and marks in it, like the previous owner drilled through the material and went into the bed in several spots. Is this a deal breaker?
What else should I look at when I'm looking at used milling machines. Photos are attached.
Thanks in advance.
