If it is still near-new, I would sell it and look for a Bridgeport. If that's not possible, you could definitely work with it- it just takes longer than the Bridgeport.
Well we can't sell it but, it is better then nothing and at this point it's like getting a mill for free. It's basically brand new just missing a few parts. We also have a electronic feed (I think think that's what it's called) for it.

Since its a piece of crap what should be expect to use it for?
