• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • 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.

Ya that does look familiar. Possibly another one but quite possibly a flip by someone trying to make a fast buck.
As I've mentioned I own the exact machine as this one and really do quite like it for what it is but I would not pay $5500 for one. If I had that sort of money to spend on a mill I'd be looking at a new dovetail bench machine or a used Bridgeport type.
 
This is the same flipper that has other over priced stuff - he just uses different name ;)

Just ignore him or maybe stop posting any "deals" by him.
 
CX602 isn't listed on the BB web site, I guess they're done being available.

I don't mind posting flipper stuff, this way everybody knows it and might be able to call the guy on it. The more people that know a flipper the less people are likely to deal with him.

I agree.

BB hasn't sold the CX602 for awhile now (10years maybe?) But they sell a CX603 which looks very simar but that is NOT the same as the CX602.

The newer version is a bigger, heavier machine and in my opinion, is quite overpriced ($7500) compared to other options out there.

KBC has their version VM-22-R8 at about the same price. I believe Grizzly has a version as well.
It's the same as my older KBC830, it's the only mill I've ever owned/used so nothing for me compare to.

4600 USD with power feed. So $6200 CAD. Without power feed call it $6000 CAD.

I do not know about you, but I would rather have a brand new machine for a bit more. Or bigger used machine for the same price.

What would be a fair price for this machine? $4000? It is in mint condition (need to verify this)
 
This guys name is 'Chris' (not to be confused with me ;) ). There is yet another 'Chris' who sells regularly woodworking stuff on Kijiji who lives in the Acadia neighbourhood who is a decent fella as well - and is not the seller in the ad.

I've had the seller in the kijiji ad above (cwood/chris/jerkbag) contact me a number of times in the past when i've had a piece for sale - refurbished tablesaws, etc. He's always lowball me at 50% of what i was listed at and then proceed to say my equipment was junk and broken, etc etc.

He's an asshole of the highest order. He cycles thru new Kijiji identities regularly so his bad reviews dont follow him.

To be fair, I'm admittedly also a bit of an asshole but have been told I have 'loveable' qualities. I dont grind people on Kijiji/facebook and I dont make lowball/insulting offers.
 
Just inquired about a Force International 45 on Kijiji in Airdrie, AB. Was listed as w/ DRO. $2000. Seller just noted it was no longer for sale. Wonder if that means that our buddy, Cwood, snapped it up & will soon be relisting it for $4000?
