Some bitch that thing is big! (That's what she said) It's basically the size of a Bridgeport plus the controls. I also have a Well-Index 745 that I think is going to go with me. The controls are cool, for the day.... I'm having a hard time getting the 'local' Jet JTM-4VS outa my head. 9x49, vsd, x-drive... Thanks for all the great input here and by PM folks. Had chances years ago to go into machining, guess it wasn't the 'way'. Merry Christmas

Located a Taiwan built, 2 owner, J-head knee mill 2hp, 9x42 Frejoth for an attractive price at a doable distance. R8. Same M castings and factory as Jet, Acra, Delta etc. 1991 vintage.
Run three phase off single. VFD to the rescue.
Buying it Saturday.
Thanks guys.

You are much better off buying a quality used machine with comprehensive tooling. Yep, that will magically appear here in W Montana for my consideration... Check... You don't have to believe in magic--just use your head. How do you think brand new Chinese machines get to W Montana? (They are shipped) If you are simply trying to rationalize buying a cheap import, just admit it and settle for what you get. Same as buying from Harbor Freight. Or if you are a lazy shopper, or can't justify the time it takes to search the used machine market, that's ok too. But don't expect quality to magically appear for your consideration if you are unwilling to put in some effort. Fuuckoff No need to be a rude little beotch. Just trying to get you to see beyond the cheap imports. Once you buy any new bare machine you can dump a bunch of $ into tooling. Fuuckoff. Merry Christmas.
