Hi all,
I'd like to buy a square column mill and Enco has part #325-5184 on
sale for $1394 or as p/n 307-2792 for $1544 with the stand.
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INPDFF?PMPAGE=370

Does anyone know who manufactures this mill? Or can comment on it's
quality? I will be retro fitting it for CNC.

How does the Enco rate against the Industrial Hobbies unit
http://www.industrialhobbies.com/Products/square_column_mill.htm
$1700 + 120 for the stand = $1820.

Or how does the Enco rate against the Lathemaster unit
http://www.lathemaster.com/HEAVYDUTYMILLINGMACHINE%207045FG.htm
$1395 + $189 for the stand = $1584

Maybe I should just ask what the best square column mill/drill is in
this general price range for CNC conversion?

TIA!
