I'm curious what kind of mill you have? An auction here in Salmon Arm last year had a VS 9x49 mill go for just shy of $9G with fees

I have a newish (2012 manufacture) 40 taper mill that is with larger table and 5hp main motor with 10x50 table Cantek 3VM.
The other mill is Cantek 3vh from 2007 - it is a bit older, has slower spindle but has one more power feed (soon I hope to add 1) and air drow bar (I also plan adding)

Yes owner is very helpful - great addition to team Calgary.
You are problably doing better then my TC Energy shares with your investment.It's like I told my wife...I've "invested" in these machines and tools to make sure that she is well-provided for should something unfortunate happen!

That will hog some metal! If you want I have a 40 taper drill chuck (JT33) I can send you...I got it with a Yukiwa chuck that I wanted so the taper is sitting here. DM if you wish

@Tom Kitta - when it stayed at $3000 for so long I though perhaps you were going to throw in a last minute bid? The 3k one will take a bit of work to get up to the pretty looking well maintained one.

I considered the last minute bid up to $3500 but with the electrical being in question and a few other reservations I decided otherwise. Would have been about $5K paid and shipped to me, too much for a Monarch “anchor”.

That's OK Tom, I bid on 8 items at the Edmonton auction and the only thing I achieved was to raise the price for someone else. Everything I bid on went for more than I was willing to pay.

I also did not expect that it will fly that high - I was dreaming of 6k - i.e. with fees > 7k. I did not think this one was worth more then double the one in Edmonton.
My dad thought it will go for 7k+ without fees. I don't think even the owner predicted 11k. Then again similar machines in the US fetch between 10k and 13k CAD so maybe 11k was average price.
Got 5 lots. Will sort out what I want and sell the rest.

I was watching the mill at the Edmonton auction and it went for $9600 including the buyers fee. Yikes!

Tom the cheapest working 10EE I've seen on the US boards was 15K USD. In this condition they get closer to 20K USD.
It would have gone for higher if the unit was using the 70s electronics instead of tubes.
Th only 10K$ US machines Ive seen in the last 3 years were in rough shape (rusted or broken) or not turning. Drive system repairs on a 10EE are very big $$$.
