Many thanks Lee Not sure if relevant but i bought an XYZ 2000 PRO to sell on, seemed like a nice machine, was half tempted to keep it. Think most Bridgeport copies are much of a muchness. It’s more about buying on condition really, a lot of turrets have a hard life with little or no maintenance.

I have got power feed on X and Y which saves a lot of handle twiddling, (wish I had one on the knee!). It has though auto feed on the quill which is great for using a boring head. The only problems I've had with it was that the top bearing on the spindle became noisy, a fairly simple job to replace. At the right price a very capable machine with lots of grunt and in my experience worth getting. Keith.
