About $2,000.  The EMCO machinery is made in Austria per European 
technical standards and is very high quality.   This company is one of 
the few that makes good machinery for the hobby machinist.  Unfortunately,
 the cheap, no quality, Asain imports make the good machine tools look 
like they are vastly over priced.  Quality costs money and is very worth 
while.

In your case, I would recomend the Emco FB-2 mill.  It is a small gear 
head mill that does not require a lot of head room, has a stand and is 
easy to move around.  It is a quality machine and the right size for 
hobby work.  It costs about $3,000 to $4,000 depending on accessories, 
etc.
