Horizontal Boring Machine Recommendations

Any strong opinions out there on commercial HBMs? I'm thinking of
something along the lines of the G4185 [http://tinyurl.com/28ann]. Of
course I'm not actually in a postion to *buy* one....

Thanks.

JP

$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.
