I was just reading the latest Grizzley catalog last night, and they have
introduced a 'Woodworker Milling Machine' There is an intro letter
signed by the president of the company about how he used a mill in
woodwork, so is introducing one as a product. Its a knee mill, with a
10x34 table, and a rather lightweight looking head, rather like the
Clausing 8500 series.

$1895.
