Thank you all for your input, after reading quite a long thread from someone asking a similar question to mine above, I think I might now be looking at, as said by jonathan heppel, "old iron"

Now the real fun begins ) size wise (as I am quite limited) I have been looking at Tom Senior's as they seem to be in the size range that would suit me, have been looking at an E-type, only thing that concerns me with it though is the round column as I'm sure I read somewhere they are not as accurate/sturdy as say a square column ?????

Hello and thanks for that,

Axminster SX4 is quite a lot more £'s overpriced for the basic machine, no DRO's or stand included.

Anyone else have any feedback on the Chester ????

Hello all,

I'm looking at upgrading from my Sieg SX2 milling machine, the one I was pretty set on was the Chester Mecury, (Sieg SX4) good price considering it comes with stand and DRO, only offput is its only available in MT4 spindle taper, link below :-

I'm now looking at the Chester Super lux machine, but cant find any reviews on it and was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it ????
