Looking At A Bigger Mill

[EdK]

The Precision Matthews is considered a 2/3 sized Bridgeport. I really don't need or want a full sized mill. It would be almost impossible to get it down the basement. Even though the Grizzly is a full sized mill, it peaked my interest because of the sale price. I've never run into an X travel problem with my Enco mill, which has an X travel of about 22". I have quite often run into a Y travel problem though. So more Y travel, the versatility of a knee mill, a more rigid machine and power spindle feed are the main factors for wanting to upgrade to a larger mill.

Thanks for all of the comments. I'll consider them all.
