Calgary Facebook: 14x40 Lathe and Kent Mill

[phaxtris]

Whats the Kent worth?

Probably its weight in gold

 

[Dabbler]

I *think* Kent were a Taiwanese brand. If so, about 4000-5000 dollars, depending on condition, inspection, etc.

My mill is a Kent. Very well made. I agree, 5kish

I hate to be crass, but 'fuck him' then

10000000%

What's everyone think that lathe would be worth in the real world? 12.5x31, 3ph, no steady/fallow/4jaw, late 80's/early 90's gear head

@phaxtris values like that are *very* subjective.

When new those machines were not top-of-the-line, but they were pretty pricey when new. Cutting through the BS, given the recent rise in lathe and mill orices, somewhere between 3000-3500. [on reflection: 2500-3000] The only assumption here is that all the necessaries are included for all the thread cutting an all the feedrates. If they are missing those change gears, reduce the value by about 700.

I hope this helps

So 500 - 1000 here in Ontario?

Just kidding!

Probabaly free in Ontario!

I managed to get through to buddy, lathe is now in my garage to the tune of 2250+GST

If anyone is interested in that milling machine it looks clean, 208v, power feed on x and y, some msc collets, boring head, guy seems reasonable his number for it was 6500...they need it gone however, I think if someone showed up with 5k it would be yours, forklift on site to help with loading...but bring help, buddy isn't experienced moving equipment

Nice. Glad someone got it for a reasonable price.

I knew the guy that used to run that equipment years ago , , he retired and late last year he passed away , he was a very skilled , talented career machinist and a hell of a nice guy , he taught me lots.

Well with the lathe being gone without a time and date being posted I would suspect the same will happen with the mill.
