Has anyone physically seen the new $1600 harbor freight bridgeport
type mill? I'm wondering if it is rigid enough to convert to CNC. It
seems too inexpensive to be worthwhile.

conventional milling, compound angle milling, drilling, jig boring and
more. Perfect for technical schools, small parts production,
toolrooms, and maintenance shops.
