I remember someone talking about this awhile ago but i could not find the old info.
opinions on 3 in 1 mill/drill/lathe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been looking at a 3in1 machine because of very limited space and cash. the 3 machines i am looking at are:
Harbor Fright 1299.00 FREE shipping
Shoptask 1895.00 plus shipping
Smithy 2199.00 plus shipping
the shoptask and harboir freight look exactly the same in the pictures and all of the specs are exact except for the shoptask has 2 motors and comes with a table and some extra tools.
Do you guys have any opinions?
thanks
