Horizontal milling machine $400

Bit of a picture dump but it is now home and next week I can get it out of the trailer. Super pumped to start working with it and Dave the seller was awesome from sale to loading ( I mean who has a fork lift in their garage?? I now have goals .)

Awesome! Haven’t been on here much lately and I had spotted that last week. Went to see if it was still up and the ad was gone. Figured I’d check here to see if it went to a good home.
 
Glad this nice machine found a new home and I didn't have to move stuff around again to squeeze it in :D. I did go out in the shop a few times to ponder where it would go too lol. Looks like a nice mill, congrats on the deal.

Yep, I did. If I had more space I would have jumped all over it. As it is, I've got my horizontal bandsaw tarped out in the driveway right now, and already had to pass on a nice roll in saw last week I really wanted too. My wife is really good about a lot of things, but 2 bandsaws tarped in the driveway is pushing it even for me :D. If it was a surface grinder I might have tried to find a way to shoehorn it in somewhere, but right now I've gotta hold off on any new acquisitions until I get more space to put them. I'm liking the layout I've currently got...somewhat.
 
I've wanted a roll in for a long time, This one was $500 and a only 20 minute drive from my house. Really nice shape too. I found the marketplace ad when it was only a few minutes old...... For stuff like that, I always think "there will be another one", but I don't know about that. I still think about the one I missed about 10 years back for $200..... Adjusted for current inflation it's about the same I guess ...... :D

I have no space in my shop right now, and I didn't want to leave it outside, it was too nice for that. My current horizontal came from a barn, and was rusty already, so I don't really care that much about it. It cuts and works fine, so it doesn't bother me to sit outside under a tarp. I usually keep it back in the barn, but got into a bunch of fabrication projects in early summer, and I got tired of making the walk back there to make some cuts and brought it up to the house. It was supposed to be temporary.....We all know how that goes......
