I am shopping for a Bridgeport type mill.
I do not think I will ever find an actual Bridgeport, Lagun, or Cincinnati machines in Taiwan however there are various Bridgeport clones made in Taiwan... This is the one I am looking at now (it costs 28,000 NTD before delivery, around 900 dollars):

It looks to be a Bridgeport type mill with a variable speed head. I asked the seller about using a VFD and he seems dead set against it, but said I can only use a phase converter (either static or rotary). I don't know why he would be against a VFD, unless there's something that would mess up a VFD in the machine?
Also I have seen a lot of vertical/horizontal combination milling machines and I can't find any information about it whatsoever. Basically it has a spindle in the main casting and you would swivel the ram around where an overarm support is on the other end of the ram. Are they not used much at all or is there something wrong with a vertical and horizontal mill in the same machine?
I will have to get a crane and hoist this machine into an open balcony to get it into my shop...
