Well I have finished negotiations with the CEO,CFO and the Mama Bear, she has relinquished a small budget for a new mill so I thought that I would pass my choices by ya all and get your opinions, as is normal my decisions are based on budget, my age, space available, and weight.Here are my choices based on what I have researched and what many of you have recommended to others.

3.http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0758
I have also looked at the HF mill drill but have pretty much eliminated it.I would have loved to get a PM machine but the 25 was the closest to what I could use but out of range of my budget and space available and weight limitations. I am currently leaning toward the G0758 It looks like the best bang for my buck and at the very upper limit of my budget .A refurb is not a consideration at 70 I don't have the time or inclination to take on a project like that not to mention Montana is a waste land when it comes to finding machining equipment or tools.
All that being said is there anything ya all can come up with as to pro's or con's on the ones I have listed or another option of a machine that I have not considered. Thanks for any help.
