Steve, call Enco at 800-860-3400. They sell mostly Tiawnese machinery, and tools I suppose, at a fair price (that is way below US machinery). My other suggestion is to look in the "Yellow Pages" for used machinery resellers. I've found stuff for my South Bend there and have seen a lot of other machinery (jewelers lathe at more than I wanted to pay). Try it you may find something you like. They are also like auto junk yards, ask them to find what you are looking for. They have a network (hotline) that can locate it for you.
