Pretty much the same with us, but we were lucky enough to get our hands on a nice Bridgeport mill two years back. Still runs like a top. The lathe, on the other hand, needs some work... Its about half the size of the one in the picture and wobbles like crazy. Needless to say, we do what we can on the mill.
