Just moved to FL, need a mill and lathe for gunsmithing

[TonyBen]

It's mostly together now. I'll finish leveling, installing the backsplash, DRO and connecting the power cables when it's moved into its final position. I still have to move my workbench as it's where the lathe will go. I got it all done by myself before my help was available. The 2-ton hoist was way better for this job! Time to call the electrician!

Nice, I actually kinda like what he did with the chip pan there. If you're not using coolant it might make cleaning up easier....

What do you all think of this Bridgeport? It's a series 1. It's an hour away from me.

Looks like I'm all set up now. Had it moved in on Wednesday. Just have to connect power and add some shop lighting. Paid $4,800 for the Bridgeport, DRO, and the static phase converter. The seller told me this one has chromed ways as well. Paid $300 for the wrecker to move it. It was a 2 hour drive on the back roads.
