I've been primarily woodworking for the last 30 years or so, between real jobs and such (I'm a retired software and database developer, with some electronics background thrown in), and last year I purchased a Bolton BP240V variable speed lathe/mill machine. I have come to regret that purchase. I believe the lathe is basically OK (emphasis on basic), but the mill head bolted on as an afterthought is a PO_ (you can fill in the blank). I'm now considering one of these two machines for milling, possibly with the idea of converting it to CNC at some point.
Does anyone know, are these machines manufactured in the same factory? They look so close I can't help but think they must be. Regardless, anyone have thoughts or experience with either of these they care to share? I should have known better that to buy the Bolton machine - I have no one to blame but myself. But that's another story...
