    I've never seen a full height standing RF-40 mill before. I guess intended as a geared drill press with extra oomph? The flex in the round column has to be pretty significant however.

    Anayak Milling Machine GCSurplus

    My first guess is that they had to take the table off to get it thru a doorway? The description says it was "The milling machine has been declared used and functional at the time of removal from service and is sold as is".
