Having got a lathe and getting into machining again I keep thinking about the (cough) need for a mill.
But what's appropriate money for a used vertical machine? Obviously I realise this is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' question but I need something to start on - what's a clapped out machine worth, what's a nice machine worth?
For instance, I have come across an Ajax for £500, general condition unknown. But what puts me off is that it doesn't have a quill - is the £500 fair or over the top?
Any pointers would be helpful...
