Hello, long story short, somebody is willing to sell their Bridgeport with DRO. I used to be good with shapers, lathes and mills back in the day, but now I haven't touched one in 25 years. Recently I picked up TIG welding as a hobby and with that comes... need for more
Problem is, even if I used to be good with metalworking, right now I am not sure what I should do to check out the machine and see if I want to proceed with buying it. I really want it, and I think they might be willing to give me a good deal, but I need to move fast - sorry if I rushed here, created an account, and posted this as my first post. I promise I will fill out all the stuff
In short, what should I do to evaluate how good the machine is? They will give me some time to use it but I need to come up with a checklist or something similar...
Thank you
