Clausing 8520 Mill

[kvom]

There is a nice looking example for sale on eBay and also on CL not too far away for $1200. Any comments on this mill and/or the price he is asking. Comes with a Bridgeport vise and some collets and mills.

To me it looks like a good deal. However, I've never used one (or one of the imports), so my opinion could be worthless.

If it's really all he says it is (and the rescraping was done accurately, and it wasn't just flaked) then I think it's a steal. Even if it wasn't actually scraped in, it's probably in no worse condition than an import. It's cheaper than a new import, and comes with some good accessories. If I was closer, and my new mill piggybank was larger, I'd have bought it already.

My 2¢.
