Well,
My annual fall equipment auction was not fruitful except for a real old air compressor, so as I was monitoring our state gov auctions, I just picked this up. I did pick up a M-Head in the spring, but this will be a better mil when (if) I can fix it. LOL..
DETAILS: 220 Volt, Single Phase 110 Volt -- 57" L x 57" W x 80" H -- Serial#: J104514 - Mill#: 15, R8 Collet Mill
PROVIDED CONDITION(S): Poor -- Doesn't have digital read out, Is not a CNC machine, Table stuck into position, crossfeed is dismantled, little backlash
SELLER: School District
LOCATION: WI
CONTACT: We have a fork lift to help load items.
Only one picture was available (pig in a poke) to look at.
And, you will notice that they will load it for you with their forklift. These are the auctions I bid in. In a previous post, I had a negative discussion about riggers, etc. This is what I was talking about. I guess, out in the sticks we help each other out. Anyway, back to the mill.
From the picture and that it was at a school, my guess is someone broke it, and the teacher had a student(s) take it apart and it sat that way. I was interested because of the nice paint, which, again, because of a school, looks to be original.
Also, they had a half dozen lathes and 5 more mills that all looked well used. I'm hoping this one broke early in its life and sat unused. Less miles.
No serial number yet as the table is stuck over it. Haha.
And as always, I tell you what I paid, $1179.18 total. Hope to offset that a little when I sell the M-Head. Pray for me.
More pics when I get it home at the end of next week.
Enjoy,
