Hi Mark
As I posted in another thread I have forgotten completely about one alternative you may want to consider. Smithy has a new CNC mill that is apparently ready for sale. I saw the prototype at NAMES and I have to say it does look nice.
This is not a knee mill at all. It is a small / light mill designed for CNC from the begining. It is certainly worth looking into, if you are willing to go with a machine of a completely new design. Small is realtive to a full scale CNC machine, capacity wise it seems to be rather capable.
