Re: Vertical Mill for FRC
I bought my first Bridgeport for about twice what this Grizzly cost.

If you're clever you can probably score one for under $1500.

I run my machines from static phase converters...they're not the best solution, but single phase 220v is fairly easy to get access to.

I agree with Cory that Grizzly is more or less junk.
