Wilton mill opinion?

[CWendling]

Found a guy selling a wilton mill with dro. Havent gone to look at it yet, he said the quill feed doesnt work but everything else does. Variable speed. Do they compare to a bridgeport?

Of the dozens of Bridgeports and clones I've worked on in my career I can think of only 2 that the quill feed did work on. One was a brand new Hardinge/Bridgeport (it's now broken) and the Bridgeport I had rebuilt for our maintenance dept a year ago or so (still works).

But which model Wilton are we talking about?
