Re: Asian Import mills, EMCO, PRAZI, Myford, MOTORS

Hi Jeff,

Yeah, I looked up the mills in ENCO's catalog. And Grizzly, and MSC,
Blue Ridge, and Campbell Tools. Catalogs ALL over the kitchen table.
Hay! Father's day IS coming up! I glanced at the knee mills. I didn't
think powering the knee was too good a way to go. Maybe that applies to
the Bridgeport's. I'll take another look. PRAZI sounds interesting,
but difficult to power Z, I'm told. I've now seen sources for RF-45
(Penn Tool, emachinetool), albeit not the "free shipping" of ENCO.
