Looks like a good size for a home shop. The price is quite attractive as well.

Agreed on both accounts, that is a nice looking unit. So far away.

gosh that is a nice one. I hope one of our members gets it!

 

[Tomc938]

Yep. Great price on a fine looking machine.

 

[Tom Kitta]

At that price it may as well be free. It comes with 3 arbors that alone used are somewhere next to $200. So the machine is essentially sold for price of scrap - which is $240.

Somebody hurry up and buy this so I don't do something stupid this weekend.....

 

[RobinHood]

Buying tools/machines is never stupid - just need to get it past the Money Boss…

@Dan Dubeau can we enable you!

Now, from someone who knows something about being stupid from time to time, perhaps more depending on who you are talking to........ That is not a stupid move, missing out on it might be.

@Dan Dubeau can we enable you!

I don't need enabling, I can do that well enough myself . I need space. This is a no brainer buy, I just don't have space, or the time to move stuff around to shoehorn it in right now.

Timing is bad, and a bunch of other reasons. But this will be a great deal for someone no doubt. I'll pass....But I want it.....

I figured , what harm comes of just seeing if its still available, I mean its been 2 days and I have to go to waterloo this weekend anyway. Turns out am second in line but got a msg today saying the first guy has until tonight to respond....

 

[140mower]

Good luck!

 

[YYCHM]

What do you figure it weighs?

 

[Chip Maker]

What do you figure it weighs?

The ad states 2000 lbs.

 

[Aarknoid]

Sigh. Going to look at it tomorrow . Other buyer has ducked out so will keep posted. Figure it can't be any worse than moving the lathe, much better center of gravity. Getting it on the trailer should be easy.

 

[Tom Kitta]

At this price if you think its a problem lifting it even with engine hoist you can afford to hire a company. A tow truck etc. Its a steal.

People back out b/c they are afraid of 3ph power or some other stuff like too heavy, too big etc.

I take the "easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission" approach.

Victoria/Elliot are solid British made machines. I've got the larger "2" its a beast, 4hp, plows through anything, even at a 1" doc.

Dan....you know you want it!

 

[Aarknoid]

Assuming there is no catch, loading the trailer should be easy with the fork lift on site, unloading at home with engine hoist and pump truck should be doable.
