Cost to go for inspection is the same as machine so it is impossible..
I need your opinion from the photos...

Bridgeport is nice to have. It is used in world war 2.

I would take the deckel looking thing over a non cnc'd Bridgeport. Any machine with the ballscrews already fitted is key.

Actually, looking at the deckel like mill pictures again, I don't see a shaft coming out of the table? Screw missing or just burried in the casting?Where is the x axis motor?

The spindle speed chart goes very low. But I can't see how high it goes.
My mill only does 1000 rpm and that is too slow for many of the cutters I want to use.

i think goes up to 2k.
But i found that this machine is not suitable to convert to cnc easily.
So as a manual machine worth for 1500 euros?
