been a while since I posted but have been enjoying everyones post.I wanted to ask if anyone has been to your local school system surplus auctions to find most of the stuff comepletely destroyed.This past Saturday I went to hopefully buy a kondia mill with prototrak age control that was hardly used before the program was shut down.also there was a tool and cutter grinder there that has never been used I was interested in.When I got there I found the mill had been thrown off the back of a truck and the grinder was broken, bent, busted,there was skill involved in tearing it up.There were 2 bridgeports ,one like new excerpt for the pieces broken off of it.I think they lifted them by the tables.Vertical bandsaws with busted castings,I could go on and on.Its bad enough our school system doesn't offer trades anymore but to let the equipment be destroyed is just plain hateful.I truly see our tax dollars at work here,sorry but I needed to vent.
