With a Myford going for $7k, this is a sweet deal if you've got the space... Down from $6000.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

The ”excellent for roughing but not so good for tight tolerances” statement is a bit of a red flag. But it is running so you could take a few cuts to check it out. It might just need some adjustment. Or maybe some expensive new bearings. Hard to say.

I don't think so.... But even then, the flat way is for the tailstock, and I don't think you can get it that close to the chuck....

yeah, for sure. But if you can check it out and see if it is in fact that the ways are no good, or if it's something easily fixable like gib adjustment, levelling/alignment or something else -- might be worth it. For 3k, you'd have money left over for rigging, a transformer (i'm guessing it's probaly 550v 3ph) and vfd or rpc, and still be ahead vs a 7k myford
