ANTIQUE 1960s Milling Machine $800 obo

ewlsey · Jul 28, 2014

I've got bigger hunks of metal around here just for holding doors open.

alskdjfhg · Jul 28, 2014

Is that $800 to remove it?

Sorry, but it sure looks as if it's seen better days....

gbent · Jul 28, 2014

I saw that little mill, crazy money. If you really want some machines there are tons of them down here in Tucson at Als machinerey, prices are fair and there is lots to choose from

Thought sure the ad would say: "Some dry rust..."

John Welden · Jul 28, 2014

I'm surprised some dude on here isn't buying it so he can clean it up and "scrape it in". :rolleyes5:

"Yep, only spent 6000 hours getting this baby good as new"

I know a flower garden in Maine that could use that for art.

One of the best lines I've seen in a CL ad! :crazy:

"........or let me know if its too cheap......."

If it had the original stand you could bolt a mailbox to the table.

Aw, that's such a cute doorstop... a guy could use that to skim a few thou off a pinewood derby car, and flatten a cake of Brie...

Honey, who put the my Milwaukee #2 in the dryer???

Biax would probably remove metal faster than the benchmaster anyhow.

the pics are deceiving, not saying it's a large machine or anything but it weighs in the 500lb+ range and with the horizontal arbor it can actually do some good work. i certainly wouldn't pay $800 for it but i sold a vertical version of that same mill for $500 a few years back and there were no lack of interested buyers. granted it was in much better shape and had a vise and some basic tooling. people want those little things and honestly those little benchmasters are decent bench mills for little stuff

He lowered the price to $150 obo.
Maybe its a member here lol.

lazz · Jul 29, 2014

From a complaint about the price to a look what I got....

TrickShot1100 would have over paid....
And a pic to prove it...
