Horizontal Boring Machine Recommendations

[Jay Pique]

Any strong opinions out there on commercial HBMs? I'm thinking of something along the lines of the G4185

Of course I'm not actually in a postion to *buy* one....

Thanks.

$1270 huh? I'm kinda partial to my Davis and Wells horizontal boring machine that I bought at auction for $35. They aren't in business anymore so you might have to wait a few years before you find one with the price is $35, but I thought pound-for-pound and dollar-for-dollar it's tough to beat. Now I just need to find the mortiser attachment that was available for this machine.

You suck.

No really, you do.
