Tmac,
The mill in the link has a Morse Taper #3 spindle. The one you need has an R-8 spindle. This is not a trivial difference. The spindle standard was set by Bridgeport years ago and the tooling you need is more available and affordable in R-8. When I bought mine for $450.00, Harbor Freight had the Morse taper #3 machine on sale for $175.00 and I did not even consider buying it. Check with Enco, MSC, and Grizzly tools for the milling machine accessories.
