    What to buy new as replacement for Bridgeport Series 1?

    Since I am selling my house and don't need all the proceeds for the next one, and it seems that the new "Bridgeports" are at least partially Chinese now, what is the best machine on the market in this niche?

    Missing Gunsmithing Forum

    It appears there is a temporary outage at Practical Machinist relating to excess bandwidth usage. I expect it will be resolved shortly but for the moment, Gunsmithing appears to be one of the forums removed to reduce bandwidth use. Hang in there; hopefully we'll be back soon.

    New Old Topic--Starrett CMM Investigation

    This was discussed sometime back on the forum; it has reached a conclusion. What conclusions us outsiders should draw is not clear. However, there wasn't enough credible evidence to prosecute, it appears.
