Haven't seen one like this before. Can't find a manual on BusyBee's web site.

Appears to be 220V 1PH but the listing doesn't specify. Starting point is $1,000 and there are almost 6 days left in the auction.

Is it just me or does that column look super beefy?

I don't recall seeing anything quite like this before. The gear head gives 12 speeds from 60 to 3,000 rpm which is pretty nice. OTOH, it is not a knee mill. No idea what spindle taper or the X/Y/Z work envelope. Quite clean and no obvious damage. Not even paint scrapes. Part of me wants to contact BusyBee and find out if they have a manual for it.

Asking $2,500 on Kijiji but the one at auction in Lindsay went for just under $1,500 all in.

The column on these things is really massive. I wonder how difficult it is to crank the head up? (Down has to be pretty easy!)

(BTW, there is a rusty anvil shown in the Kijiji listing. How many guys are going to argue that if it's in the picture, it is part of the deal!)
