    Would you buy a used Mikini?

    For those who have them, would you recommend for or against a used Mikini?

    I did a lot of research on the Mikini as I had an opportunity to buy a used one about a year ago. I have come to the conclusion that I would not buy one unless it was incredibly cheap, and even then I don't know if I would touch one. I question pretty much everything about the machine from the couplers they use, to the electronics, to the motor, everything. The sense I got was if you buy one, be prepared to spend as much time working on the machine as you do working with the machine. Now that the company is out of business and their is no support, forget it, don't touch it. Get a Tormach, nothing but rave reviews, happy customers, great support and a great machine.
