Looks like the flipper got it and fixed or turned the chip tray around

Quick 2k in his pocket for removing it from the broken pallet

Definitely Alberta pricing on that one, myself and @slow-poke purchased same machines here in Ont. for less than $2500.

And friends ask why I won’t sell my Bridgeport. Don’t even want to guess what it would cost me here in Alberta to replace it.

Not to mention that there's a 50/50 chance the expensive one was knocked on its a$$ at some point.

Good buy at $2500. Double that and I'd be looking for something else.

I would love to reach trough the screen and slap the seller, at the asking price he could of easily replaced that hand wheel.

This is why I am buying new - I will be doing a road trip to either grizzly in washington or have PM ship it to the border.

Meh, good that we all see it to know what to watch out for too, in case someone missed the first thread

Buying new is one way for sure, but if you can get the deal before the reseller does, used can work in your favor.
Either way, new or used, both are a pretty good sized project to get on line and as we have seen in a few instances here in the last few years, neither one is guaranteed to work straight out of the box. New will have a warranty, but sometimes being caught in that warp just slows down the project by months over a few dollars......
Either way, it's much akin to kissing frogs looking for a princess.

Dude this is a total flipper - when I get machines I fix them. This guy? No. Not even clean the dust - just 2x the price.

This machine was on kijiji a couple weeks ago for 3000. And that seller “needed it gone”.

Pretty sure he "wanted it gone" because it face planted off the pallet it was on, smashing the front handle and bending the chip tray.

Who knows what he brazed back together underneath. However, at least he was reasonable with the price lol

To be fair it looks like he cleaned the table, and you know since he doesn't give a shit it was with a powered tool as quick as possible lol

You ask the flipper whatever there are any issues - I bet he says good as new - cosmetic only

That was a bit more sensible price than this.
BB has those handwheels for sale, and when I had that model Mill I replaced the handles with the freewheeling clutch type. Amazon has them $25 range. He spent more mney in gas and brazing rod to create that metal sculpture.

Guaranteed, just a lil bump on the handle. Whatever bent the chip tray like it did had to be more then a little bump lol

You can also get them from Aliexpress. But he does not know these things as he does not fix machinery - he just sells for 2x the price.
