[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3574742, member: 745"] I already have a [url=https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-31-3-4-hp-combo-lathe-mill/g9729]Grizzly G9729 Combination Lathe/Mill[/url], but because this machine doesn't have what is called a "knee", all vertical adjustments beyond the range of the milling spindle travel requires stacking up blocks for milling. When I use this machine, it usually calls for switching back and forth between milling and turning which in turn requires setting up and taking down setups frequently. With a separate milling machine - one that has a knee - that problem goes away and time is saved. This machine, being what it is, has power feed in the "X" and "Y" axis's. Milling machines with power feed on those two axis's are not all that inexpensive. They start around $2,600.00. As for "need", well, when a need does arrive, you'll have it. Besides, once you have one, you'll see need every where you look. I've resurrected/repaired many a machine, tool, household device, and auto parts with it. I've even upgraded itself using itself. I've made eccentric bushings to remove play, made extended gib screws to enable adjustments without fumbling with long Allen wrenches deep within the cross slide apron, made a heavy duty compound slide for it, and many other mods and repairs- not to mention tools and accessories as well. Just do it. Women love men who can fix things. Woody [/QUOTE]
