CT129N mini mill

[darrin1200]

I have a line on a CT129N mill, for a good price. It’s the size I’ve been looking for. I’ve had my eyes out for a CX600.
Is $1300 with some collets and tools good deal. I think I will have to move quickly to get this.
Thoughts??

My CT129 does what I want, only downside is the MT2 quill. I only say this as R8 seems to be much more common for tooling. That being said, MT2 works fine, just sometimes it takes a bit of searching to find specialty tooling at acceptable pricing.

Thanks @whydontu .
This one, the CT129N, has an MT3 spindle. That was one of my concerns.

@darrin1200 , I've used a CT129N with MT3 spindle for a number of years for me its been a reliable mill without issues. Totally agree with whydontu post #2

Should one get rammy with it then that's another story.

I’ve talked it over with my better half, and have agreed I need to sell something I’m not using to fund a mill. So I have to sell my CNC Router before I get the mill.
It will also free up much needed space to put a mill in.

Did she state the order as in buy now sell later? Lol

Unfortunate no. I’ll try and get the cnc up for sale this week.
