Interesting, the same seller had a Bridgeport and a Forward mill listed that must have sold. They both looked better cosmetically and were listed for less.

I have a First mill and I like them better than a branded Bridgeport. Heavier castings mainly, but my column is about 6" wider and 10" deeper than a BP mill of the same size. For a 9X49 it weighed in at 3600LBS - without the head. So add another 175 lbs for that.
