Horizontal milling machine Cincinnati #2 or sajo?

fourtynine · Apr 17, 2020

I'm looking for a horizontal milling machine, have found a sajo and a Cincinnati #2 dial model 1960 , in my area ,both machines are in similar conditions the sajo is 100 miles closer to me , just would like to get a option as to which one is the best option I have no experience with either or a horizontal mill , Just need one to do an aligned boring job , the machines are in the $1500.00 range and come with no tooling the sajo does have 3axis dro . I'm conserned about parts available for the sajo , any advise will be appreciated.

I have owned both, the cinn is a better mill, the price is high, a horz sells for less than 1k here and hard to get rid of...Phil

Thanks for the reply , I have only one aligning Job to do so I don't want to have much in one of them ,

I've had both, I currently have the Sajo 54 ; The only thing I am really not keen on is the lack of clutch. Everything is direct drive & stop / start.

No clutch on either machine or just the sajo ?

The Cinci No 2 will have a clutch. I own a 2MI, which is a lovely machine. Quiet, smooth, accurate, rigid, easy to use. You are very unlikely to regret buying a cincinnati. The dial type should be even better. The time to drive tonthe machine is far less than the time to load, unload, install etc. In my view, if they are in similar condition, go the extra 100 miles for the cinci.
