Im in south central Il. Im fairly early on in my quest so Ive been mainly pricing new, however I have been trying to figure out which older ones have the features I would need.
I've got machine levels and no I'd rather not have to work on a lathe which is why I'm leaning towards new. I just talked to a friend of mine who is a Smith he has the grizzly 14 x 40 and says the only complaint he could ever have about it is it might be nice to have a bigger one but isn't that always the case.
