not included.

I want that Milling Machine. What are they about 2900 lbs? Anyone know if I can change the motor to a voltage I can actually get in residential garage?
 
2755lbs from the pdf i read...

it has box ways on y axis...nice....turcited ways on xyz....very nice
 
FYI people, Bob has a crane and can load this onto a vehicle.

That is half the battle right there.

I'm trying to see if I can get a flat bed truck to drive down to Windsor but if I can't own this for a great price some member of this forum deserves to
 
Nice mill (we have a bunch of them at work), decent price, but not a screaming start the car deal for industrial ontario IMO. No DRO, and no powerfeed. No tooling (collets, vise etc) either. 600v ~3 too. If it's nice and tight (looks really clean), and cash price was loaded on your trailer, then I wouldn't feel too bad about 2k if I absolutely needed one (and had 600v 3 phase already), but if you're patient and able to pounce there are better deals to be had. Especially around that area and the GTA.

Also, realistically you're looking at 500-1000+ to get it running of residential single phase 240v. You can do it for cheaper, again if you stumble on the right deal for a phase converter, and transformer. They're out there, but they don't last long.

I'll add that Bob will load this on your trailer for you.

You can convert with a VFD rather than use a phase converter because IIRC this only requires 3 HP.
 
I know. VFDs aren't cheap. ~$200 for an import, double or more for a new name brand. You still need a transformer to step up 240-600. I stand by my $500-1000 claim.....(wire, breaker, disconnect, etc).
