Many years ago, my first mill was this Jet JMD-20VS-1 variable-speed mill-drill. It was adequate,
and I made a great deal of parts and mods with it, but within a relatively short time- three or four years
at best- I had pretty much worn it out. The spindle bearings were loose, and several components in the
variable-speed drive had worn out to the point of rattling. I eventually replaced it with a full sized
Bridgeport clone, which was far and away a better machine.
