Hey gang I am just getting into machining on my own. I haven't used a mill in years and wanted to get back into it. I was looking for a J head Bridgeport when I came across a late 80s Rutland Bridgeport clone. It's a 2HP 3 phase that I planned to convert with VFD. They ways look better than any of the Bridgeports I have found in this price range. Were these mills any good or should I just keep after the Bridgeport? This one was made in Taiwan and looks to be pretty solid but looks don't mean much. Would this be a good starting mill?
