!!!DROOL!!!l It is a minor bummer that the machine isn't bridgeport compatible, but since you got all the collets with it that isn't a big deal. For $800 it was a bargain.

In terms of looking for Rotary tables and other such things, Ebay can be your friend, but you should do some serious comparison shopping first, as much of the stuff on E-bay is selling for the same price or more than what the same item is selling for in the regular catalogs mentioned above. Also there is a certain amount of marginal qualinty stuff being sold on E-bay, this might or might not be good enough for what you need, depends on how much precision you want to pay for. (zero's are expensive numbers, how many do you want to buy?)
