WTB: Clausing 85xx, Millrite, etc

[IHateMayonnaise]

I've wasted away waiting for a fractional BP to fall in my lap over the years, but alas. This is an attempt to move the needle. No I don't want a modern offshore POS, yes I'm picky and I love my old iron. Under no circumstances will anything over a 3/4 BP fit in my space. A Millrite is at the extreme upper limit of what my space can accommodate, and I would prefer to get a Clausing 85xx for its size. Most of my machines are projects, and would love to buy a working unit. I am willing to be patient, and wait for a more complete specimen to become available, although I may just jump at the first opportunity. I am very willing to pay above average, or even significantly above average if that's what it takes. I'm newly single and am looking to make some bad financial decisions.

If you think that you may be selling yours in the future (I.e., years from now), let me know and I'll wait patiently. I'd also be open to bribing your offspring now to keep me in the back of their mind when you croak. At least that way I can keep the dream alive.

I live in Albuquerque, NM and am willing to drive a ways, or pay for shipping.

To future generations: if any of you archeologists out there find one of these entombed in a slab of granite: I'm probably still looking for one.

Cue mayonnaise jokes.

I have a nice Rockwell 21-120 the one with the vertical and horizontal spindle. PM me if you are interested.

I shall do some research and let you know. My main concern is size, although the R8 spindle gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Here is one in Troy MI.

Basically the same size as a Clausing.

A nice looking Clausing 8551 is for sale in LA. No affiliation. Nice looking machine - https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/for/d/los-angeles-clausing-8551-milling/7630471224.html

I'll also ad that I have a 21-100. It's not for sale, but just wanted to give a thumbs up to this option. Especially the 21-120 with the horizontal milling capacity as well. That's a rare bird.

Hi Mayohater,

I have a Burke Millrite that I have outgrown and I'm ready to sell. I live in East TN, so quite a way off for you to visit. If you will tell me what you'd like to see, I can send photos or videos. It is fully functional. I have a set of R8 collets, parts manual, (yes, parts are still available) and a static phase converter I will include so you can run on single phase 220V. I'm hoping for about $2000. It is easily disassembled for shipping. If you're really into antiques, I also have an old Sheldon lathe I am considering selling.

 

[mattthemuppet]

that's a good price and a good sized mill. If I were closer I'd be tempted..

 

[professionaljoat]

Well, San Antonio is closer than Albuquerque

 

[lucky7]

Look for a Deckel FP1. Much more mill in same space as a 3/4 BP.
