Have been looking for a different mill for a while and had kind of gave up, thinking it would be a long time coming. I haven't picked it up yet but I found one on a guys ranch. He has sold his ranch and wanted to get rid of his mill and lathe as the new owner doesn't want them. ??? So I told him I just wanted the mill and its tooling cause I already have a smaller 3 year old lathe. He wanted $1300.00 USD each. He called me back this afternoon and told me $2000.00 USD for both with all the tooling, phase converter, mill has a DRO, vise and rotary table. It took me a nano second to say deal.
Now I haven't seen them in person yet but will drive up there, under a 100 miles, in a couple of days and see what I need to move them. Yes I bought them site unseen. Having made these kind of deals before I have a certain comfort level about doing this.
The mill is a Wells-Index.
The Lathe is a Select 1430GD
Sometime I loose doing this but most of the time its a good deal.
Does anyone here have these types of machines?
