Hahaha a 1440 would be ideal. Single phase. But I would be fine with smaller and upgrade eventually.


Wife would like me to stay all in for 4000…..which seems to be a slightly used 4 jaw chuck only in Alberta smh

I see lots in or near Calgary area but that’s a long haul home. 6+hrs

In these times, you have to be willing to travel if you see something you want and you need to be quick. The alternative is to buy new and have it delivered. Eastern BC comes up some good machines once in a while as well.

Nice that you have access to machines, "Honey, the boss is making me work late again" LOL
