Big TOS surface grinder $500

This is a smoking deal - its big enough to maybe do small lathe beds.

He is not lying about wheels alone being worth $500 - these cup wheels are expensive and hard to get!

That huge magnetic chuck is worth another $500 by itself.

Machine as scrap is worth another $500

This machine is 300mm x 1000mm so 12 in x 39 in !
 
I would buy hat if it were closer too bad it wasn't just a bit longer travel could dick around with grinding small lathes.

It's lighter then my large lathe so it wouldnt be that bad to move I don't think.
 
I'm not up to the task and my trailer is a bit small - an industrial machine mover with a forklift?? or boom truck?? you might get a surprise. It could be that the price reflects the cost of moving it. Single phase/220 V? Reposition both the mill and the new grinder at the same time?? Oh so VERY EASY to spend your $.

That would be no surprise! It's exactly what I think is the reason behind the low price!

Not only is it super heavy but there is the risk of damaging a precision machine. Don't know if the table would have to be removed or even how to go about it?
