          Not sure if relevant but i bought an XYZ 2000 PRO to sell on, seemed like a nice machine, was half tempted to keep it. Think most Bridgeport copies are much of a muchness. It’s more about buying on condition really, a lot of turrets have a hard life with little or no maintenance.

              I've been "CNC mill" watching on ebay for a few months now and rather a lot of them have been popping up

              If they're any good then someones had a clearout and opportunity is knocking

                Definitely a buyers market at the moment

                  Hi Lee.

                  Yes I've got one. I've been using it for a number of years for hobby use and I've been very happy with it. I have got power feed on X and Y which saves a lot of handle twiddling, (wish I had one on the knee!). It has though auto feed on the quill which is great for using a boring head.

                  The only problems I've had with it was that the top bearing on the spindle became noisy, a fairly simple job to replace.

                  At the right price a very capable machine with lots of grunt and in my experience worth getting.

                  Keith.
