Can't fit a full sized Bridgeport? This may be your next best option- a Clausing 8530.

People are always asking about grizzly this and harbor freight that, so I figured I'd show them what a real mini mil looks like
lol

Know a shop not for from here with about a dozen little knees like that from a time past.




I'd still rather have a bf30lv type mill if converting. That clausing would make a hella nice manual though. May even be able to still get parts (like the missing belt cover) from clausing.

More info on the knee.

Damn, that was tempting though it's gone now. I like my little converted BF-25L but that would be nice to have as well. Would help greatly it getting some of the modifications I need to do to the 25 done since you almost need a mill to convert a mill (oiler cuts, opening up room for ball nuts ect.).

I'll have to keep on the lookout for those.
