Big machine.

It's actually located in Sidney on Vancouver Island. I suspect they listed it in Vancouver to reach a bigger market.

And that's what happens a month after spending more than that for much less lathe!
Though I could use one at the cabin...

That is a big brother to the one I have. Very nice machine, and not in a basement, either.... It is underpriced unless it has a serious mechanical defect.

Agreed!

It's listed on usedvictoria, too. Craigslist in Victoria is pretty much a 'dead zone' lately.

I sure wish this could morph into a decent milling machine. As a lathe it's just too big and heavy for me.
Stan Canada has a pretty beat-up Bridgeport series 1 with cherrying head that's just come in for $4900: https://stancanada.com/collections/...ducts/bridgeport-series-1-2hp-milling-machine. They sent me a nice video, and all the cranks are bent, and spindle startup is a little "cruncy". So a pass for me.
