Did a search, but couldn't find a good thread for general info.
There is an FP1 for sale nearby, turned up in a CL search.
Never heard of them...but some quick google-fu indicates they were toolroom quality machines.
Looks to be on the small side, but be heavy for it's size.
Obviously not a typical knee mill (I don't see a quill?). Aside from (I'm assuming)being a quality German machine back in the day (how far back??), what are it's advantages and disadvantages when compared to a BP or clone?
$4K seems quite pricey, but again I have no clue as to what market is for these...parts availability? Proprietary collets?
I'm looking for another "smallish" mill, should I even consider this one?
