As a Taig dealer my opinion is biased, but...
If you compare the Taig to any similar sized machine I think you will find that it comes out on top in terms of fit and function for dollar spent (it is the best value.)
I have a few 'import' mills and lathes in one of my shops at the university where I work, my other shop has Bridgeport mills and a Clausing lathe. There is not real comparison in quality. The American made machine are built to a design spec and the imports are built to a price point.
While the Taig is not expensive they are built to a performance spec, they either work like they should or they don't ship. I suspect that is one of the reasons they have been in business for more than 30 years.
Feel free to give me a shout if you have any questions about the Taig...
