I already have a drill press. I haven't used it since I got my mill. So I found this smaller mill to free up the big one. It would have likely done the job I wanted it for with very minimal clean up. I have issues with doing the minimum required. Machine has already been torn down except for the head. Most of it cleaned, and some of it repainted. By the time I am done, I will have removed and re-installed every last nut and bolt.
Other than these ways, I have not found any major issues. The x and z ways look almost new. I want the damaged ways repaired to a reasonable condition, but am not wanting to spend a lot of money on it. If I wanted to spend money, I would have bought a new one. Or at least a nice used one.
