Buy this one, sell the one you just bought, with the money you pocket and the sale of your round column you can buy that big mill & be both money and equipment ahead. Et voila!
The one I bought though is in mint…. Almost new, can even buy parts for it….. will do very precise work.

This old one looks decent, and is tempting to do bigger work.

The old mill though, the big one…. 10hp@480 is a lot of electrical retrofitting and a lot of motor to run on the 30a single phase breaker I have feeding my whole garage…..
