In the chicago area I work in the industrial market and the cheapest place around would be harbor freight tools by 53 and dundee I think its palatine, they have a ton of other cheaper tools that can come in handy if your looking for industrial used stuff perfection machinery, jet machinery, and I think astral precision on carbides and cutting tools are all located in elk grove village, illinois. Hope this helps ya.. If I had a choice I would get a shop smith its a lathe drill press and mill all in one.
