Very Nice. How big is the hole trough the spindle on your machine, and are you generally satisfied with it?
I really need a better vertical milling machine but it doesn't have to be big. I was thinking of getting a three-in-one machine because I could set it up do do both vertical and horizontal milling as the need arises.

i have 2 mill/ lathes bought from busybeetools.com , had them for years ,and they still run great . there is one on sale for $1800. .it has a 1.125 spindle bore ,and 18'' between chuck and center in tail . 8'' crosstravel 4'' compound travel . speeds of 90-1400 . (should be slower for cutting threads )
they are a good cheap machine . i have made many guns and parts just on one of these machines ,( highly recomend them).
just picked up a 4'' self centering/ rotating vise for one , makes life easier $250 on sale . awesome for drilling and sloting ,never adjust again after the first time.
