You need a mill option outside the Seig line. I have a HF 12 speed.

I have a 7X12, but would rather have space for something bigger.

I have a couple of 25 year old Jet machines: 12x36 lathe and their Bench knee mill. About equivalent in original quality to the current HF models the same size.

Correction to my post above: the lathe is a 10x24. The 12x36 didn't make the last move.
