dr_hunt Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 You may find one, the economy being what it is fairly cheap. As for good ol american made I think your cutting your nose off despite your face in terms of quality. Most of the quality machines are not made here in the states although there are a few exceptions. The foreign machines are quite nice and have good tolerances compared to say a used bridgeport. The problem buying used is whether it was cleaned and lubricated properly and on a regular basis. All that aside every machine will and does have it's quirks, so it takes some time to get used to any machine, except the CNC's of course.
