8" palgren cross slide rotary table with tilt

[jamie76x]

Palmgren 8" cross slide rotary table with tilt. Link to specs below. Nice condition, been on the shelf a while and was well-oiled. This has seen minimal use. I have never cleaned it up, only sprayed with oil and stuck it on the shelf. A little cleaning and it should look excellent.
Located in 18640 Pittston Pennsylvania. It should run about #50 and fit in a 12x14x10 inch box, for you to estimate shipping costs. I accept pp f&f and local pick up is welcome. Asking 600https://www.palmgren.com/product/321/140

$600 seems pretty high.

Price a new one, and report back. They are still in production.

 

[metalmagpie]

New, huh? Will you take it back for a full refund? Would a buyer get the warranty?

Didn't think so.

And the ultimate reflection of value: nobody's buying it. Why? Because $600 is too much for a piece of garage machinist kit.

I have one here, does not have the tilt x-y only with rotary, I bought from a estate sale years ago. Paid too much for it. Completely rebuilt. I'd be lucky if I can get $150 bucks for it! I don't use it because I have another RT without x-y but has tilt that I use instead.

They aren't rigid enough to replace a rotary table for milling (I can tell you that from experience), but they are the best thing on a a drill press.
Actual sale prices for non-tilting ones on ebay go up to $400, and a tilting one with a chuck on it recently sold for $700 plus $105 shipping with two people bidding on it, so $600 is not unrealistic.

Sounds like a few of you live miserable lives.

Sounds to me, you need to list it on eBay and wait for that sucker to bite and sell it. Won't happen here.

I agree.

When people here need to drill precision holes, they use the Bridgeport with the rotary table they already have.
Hobby guys are willing to pay the big bucks for these, so you might as well let them.
