What 'decent' Milling machine?

It's just a little trick we sellers on ebay do when an item is out of stock or short term unavailable, set the price mighty high and no one will buy it hopefully adding the item to their watch list ready for when the price is adjusted to something reasonable again.

If you just close the listing down - as a seller, you lose the intrest, watchers and so on that the item listing has attracted, this is only ideal really when you have a multiple quantity listing going where you have sold lots of the same item already and as such don't want to lose all that good work (a listing is placed higher on the search results page when it has sold well previously, positive feedback recived and so on).

Ah, ok, makes sense. They have a number of machines at £7K, dont see the value.

Anyways - thoughts on this machine:-

Ok, two Denford machines, look like 'old' quality. Both Mach3 converted.

Thoughts? Only thing Id like is probably a 4th axis. Assume that could be fit later?
