Nice looking small knee mill in Edmonton

Take THAT Ontario!
Probably just a matter of time before we see a post for a Bridgeport found discarded on the side of a secondary highway in Ontario.... kind of how people dump couches and washing machines in rural Saskatchewan.

Question- you say rural Saskatchewan. That implies there’s an urban Saskatchewan

I lived in Saskatoon for 20 years and can relate to this remark.

Seems a little pricey for a small machine?
Looks to be in mint shape and comes with some tooling. 1/2 the price of the new Busy Bee version. Similar table size but the used machine is 2 HP vs the Busy Bee 1.5 HP

Just wait, my brothers are enroute and have some bed springs too.
Sells for 7K new from KBC KBC Tools link to 6-380-002
Looks clean.
I have a 6x26 that I paid 2K for (mint condition) and I have no regrets -- its my go-to machine for manual milling. I'd like a larger machine (BP clone etc.) but would want something in great shape and that eliminates the price-point. For 3300, it is still a compelling argument for those that a want 'newish', small form factor knee mill.
Damn, prices have sure increased on new machines...... 3300 was the buy-new price on the 6x26 back in the day......
No doubt - this machine will sell

I didn't realize that model was still available from KBC. $7200 plus tax and shipping is probably going to take it close to $8K for a new one.

Yes for $900 more I'd bust for the bigger one in a heart beat over the similar smaller one. They both seem pricey to me considering other small mill options. I have the busy bee version of the smaller machine and like it but bought it used and I think if I were buying new the dovetail column bench mills would win out for price vs value now.
