Hobby machinist looking to buy a capable mill second hand. The issue is my garage height. It's 90" to the drywall and the door opening is 79". I don't mind going into the joist space to gain a few inches, but the column would have to fit between them, structural modification is out as I have house above it.
So far the only things I think have a chance in hell are:
A Sharp SV-2412, Newest models list as 94.5" but it looks like the column may be skinnier than 16" so it could fit between joists. No idea about the 10 year old models on the used market share the same dimensions though.
Late 90's/Early 00's robodrills (Link). I've seen sellers list these heights from 83" to 95". Anyone know what their max height is and whether or not they can be disassembled to fit under 79".
I'm open to other ideas, really all I'm looking for is something heavy duty that will fit and has a tool changer.
