Brian,
I have seen quite a few reasonably priced used compact industrial CNC vertical machining centres.
What kept me from buying one was the proprietary nature of parts and systems incorporated into big name machines coupled with the high cost of spares from the manufacturers, I did agree to buy one but I allowed for the possibility of a major re-fit (at least as much again as the purchase) in my budget, in the end the seller sold it to someone else and I feel I dodged a bullet there,
