Reply:Clausing 8520 and 8530 are US MADE mini mill and good one! Very rare to see one on the market because for those having a lack of space for a full size mill they are a joy and pride to own in a hobbyist garage.I seen them selling for double that price in similar visual condition. Here a link to learn a bit about it. http://www.wentztech.com/metalworkin...ing-8520-mill/http://www.lathes.co.uk/clausing%20vertical/PS: It's not a crappy drill/mill from China, If this babe have show up arround my neck of the wood I grab her ASAPLast edited by OldSkull; 04-02-2013 at 07:35 AM.Miller MM211Esab Mini Arc 161LTSEsab Handy Plasma 380Duck tapeTy- rapKool-aid
Reply:Clausing made some quality small mills. While I already have a J-head Bridgeport, I'll keep nosing around for an 8540 horizontal. One of these days I may just get lucky.
