The good-I bought a cinncinati toolmaster 1-d
The bad- the quill wont move... so its a rebuild.
The ugly- the paint looks nasty.
The 1-d is the exact mill ive wanted .sine I got into this. if Jesus was a machinist, he'd be running a 1-d, thats how nice they are. this one has been sitting for a long while, but everytbhing is still pretty smooth.
heres the funny part, the mill has a shaper attachment AND I got a pratt and Whitney model c 12x30 (an awesome lathe, just... wow), a brown and sharp #2 grinder, 14" nikkon optical comparator, and a monarch 10ee in with the mill, for $1500. the pw is the only thing that doesnt need work... but its a little bit of a tool gloat.
I'll post picks when I figure out how to on the smart phone
