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.
Northern tool has this one in their catalog for $699.00. Does harbor freight cary the combo units like this? I'd like to take a drive up there and see one before I buy. Elk Grove Village is not too far away either. I go there from time to time for Sign Supplies. Might be time for a road trip. Thanks rattymodelA
