I would go look at the mill and ask to see it run if possible. Check to see how much the hand wheels move before the table moves. This will tell you how much 'slop' is in the machine.
Good luck in your dealings  |
Wow that sounds like quite a production shop you have there!
Would love to see some pics.
I live in France and the machine I'm interested in is in the UK so I may have to take a gamble

I have a 3 phase 45 amp supply (15amps per phase) and run 3ph woodwork machines so hopefully should have that covered, but thanks anyway.
