Hi Everyone,
I'm searching for a Burke/Powermatic MVN Millrite for hobby use. My garage space is limited, so I am unable to fit a BP sized knee mill in my work area, both in the width and depth dimensions. I've use to be able to use the Dallas Markers Space mills for some projects, but between work and having a young family, I cannot justify the hour one-way drive.
From my inter-web forum browsing, I believe the Millrite would best fit the bill when compared to the Delta/Rockwell 21-1XX or Clausing 85XX types. Any of these would be a nice upgrade from my import drill mill. If anyone has a lead on one in decent condition, I'd be interested in finding out more, regardless of the quill taper. An R8 would be ideal but I can live with BS#9. I've been checking regularly in Craiglist, Facebook classifieds, and groups.io with not much luck since they only pop up every couple of months. I'm located in Fort Worth TX and would be willing to pickup anywhere within a days driving distance. My budget is in ~2K range...of course condition and tooling can raise or lower this number.
