This looks like a steal.

I think he's asking less that 1/2 what it's worth.

Well it doesn't have a base ... so that's a plus to fit it into the back of my mini SUV right?

With how much I've spent at the machine shop with projects that I can't do on my machine these past 3 months ... I probably could have cleaned this guy up by now!

I think that would be worth the drive from Calgary.

If I had room it would be worth getting just to flip. It'll be a good starter lathe for someone. The price is definitely right.

Im down a bad rabbit hole now ... just sent off a PM of very basic questions (condition/power/size/weight) to see if it is even worth my while .... I am passing through that area in 2 weeks ...... dangit!

But I really need a mill first .... then a bigger lathe ...

I see a base in the image.

I would be surprised if it lasted thru the weekend.
The base looks to be made of concrete blocks

Well, it is on cynderblocks .... I wouldn't necessarily bring those back if I didn't have the room ....

or Base != Stand .....

Ahhh, your right. It is sitting on cynderblocks. That's kind of a deceiving image at first glance.

Its not worth a drive from Calgary as by the time you get there it would be sold already and gone. It is probably gone right now. It is worth at least 2x what he is asking - maybe even more. Note it has QCTP with 2 sets of holders and some other tooling - that is probably worth few hundred $$$.

What I did NOTICE is that he has only 1 picture and has been on kijiji only... 3 days.

I would not be shocked if someone got it, cleaned it up a bit, made more pictures, bought a sturdy table at auction as a stand for it and listed it for $2000.

 

[YotaBota]

3 Days???? I read the ad as only posted a few hours ago. I agree it would be a fairly easy flip.

 

[Tom Kitta]

The poster is on kijiji system for 3 days. Its his first ad.

Bradells - Here's a bit of info on the Taiwan generic lathes, there is no mention of a 10x23 but the're all comparable.

I’ve been thinking about telling my son in Surrey about it. I don’t think he could store it in his condo for me though.

Great reading.... if you can get past the paragraph formatting.

Thanks for the link!


Also, seller responded to a few questions, just not the important ones (size/power)

Ad is gone so I presume it sold.
