I have for sale a lightly used Grizzly G1006 that was manufactured in 2003. It has been stored for the last 14 years. This model is now called a G0705. Parts and the manual for the G1006 and the G0705 are nearly identical. Parts are readily available from Grizzly and they ship to Canada.
Here’s a link (with full specs and manual) for the G0705:
https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-8-x-29-2-hp-mill-drill-with-stand/g0705
It comes with a new 5” vise, a 6.25” RT, a stand, plus other basic tooling.
As well as the vise and RT, it includes a drill chuck and some basic tooling. (the tooling is all new and includes: 7 piece set of R8 collets; 8 piece set of end mills; and 3 fly cutters).
The G1006 is similar to a King Canada PDM-30 (or its twin the Craftex CX604) but the Grizzly is nearly 100 pounds heavier and is made in Taiwan vs the made in China PDM-30 or CX604. This style/design of machine is often referred to as a RF-30 clone.
This machine is not just in good condition - it is in excellent condition. I did a test cut with it and it runs very smoothly and quiet. The column and machine are rigid and vibration free.
Here’s a couple more pics:

Selling price includes loading it onto your truck or trailer (using a tractor FEL so I can’t place it into a van or pickup with a cap).
PS1: The Rest of the Story. The original owner’s family moved to Colorado when he was starting grade nine. He entered the BattleBots competition by himself - a team of one! He won and used the prize money to buy the Grizzly. He later went on to university and took a 5 year program where he got both an engineering degree and a MBA. He was attracted to a financial career. His parents moved back to Burlington and the Grizzly has been stored there for the last 14 years.
PS2: I started a thread a few days ago and compared a column mill to a RF45. It includes an interesting video by ThatLazyMachinist.

PS3: FYI - a King PDM-30
is on sale now for $2999 without a stand. The G0705 sells now for 2905US$. So with exchange and shipping it is 4K before taxes.
