Welder looking to buy a mill/drill for home use

Thank you for this reply. I'm open to finding a knee type mill but Im having trouble finding one thats in my price range and that doesnt have a questionable past.

There are small knee mills out there and believe it or not Harbor Fright has a nice knee mill that needs tweaking to bring it up speed but may be an option. Its a 9 speed Central Machinery for $2600.00. that may work

I have seen them on e-bay, but not often.

Currently in discussions with a large machine repair company out of Michigan to purchase a Sharp LMV-42 knee mill. It's a 2002 model with DRO and power X axis. Asking price is $4950. Thoughts? Yes, its 3 phase I will need a converter, and I have no idea which one to buy lol.
