So, right now, with the health issues I'm facing, the last thing I thought I would be doing is looking at a milling machine. But, you know how that goes, that's when a good deal shows up. The thing is, I could be talked out of it easily because of one issue. I have convinced myself, based on what members have posted, that I want a Square collum mill. A knee mill would be perfect but I don't have the room. Anyway, this is one of the larger Enco mill/drill units, with a ROUND collum (don't know model # yet) HOWEVER, it comes with a cabinet FULL of tooling, a vise, and X axis power feed, a good price, and the add says He has owned it since new, and used it very little. So, to help me decide if I should even consider this, (which will drive the wife nuts, considering I'm starting 45 days of radiation therapy in a few days) , just how hard is it to Re-align whatever needs to be re-aligned after the head is raised or lowered. As you can tell, I've never run, or even been up close to a mill. So all advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JR49
