Parker Majestic 6x18 surface grinder - Sold

[DavidR8]

I've decided to sell my surface grinder. I'm not using it and I need the shop space.
It's on Vancouver Island so if you're local it easier. Distance is always doable with some effort.
I have tons of pics here.
Let me know if you're interested and we can work out a price.

What will you use the shop space for?

 

[DavidR8]

Partly for the CNC router

You know that a road trip is highly recommended after COVID lockdown right?

 

[DavidR8]

And the grinder is sold.

Everett are you taking a drive out west?

Naw, it went to a local bloke.

What do you think, three or four days and you'll be doing something and wish you had a surface grinder,,,LOL

 

[DavidR8]

I'd give it a week to be safe

 

[DavidR8]

Well the grinder is all set to be picked up tomorrow.
Trouble free and almost injury free exercise.
Managed to smash my little finger taking the outriggers off the engine hoist.
How I detest that design.

 

[YotaBota]

It'll grow back.
At least you didn't get the nail ripped off by the milling machine like some dipstick I know did,,,,

 

[YYCHM]

You never did tell us what you sold it for

 

[DavidR8]

Up, up and away!

While it would have been a very welcome addition to my future-functional shop, I just can't get away from my family that long anymore. Looks like whoever got it now has a nice machine!

It was a really solid machine in excellent condition but I just didn’t use it enough to justify the space it consumed in my small space. @YotaBota has been to my shop and I think would agree that space is at a premium for me.

It looks like it went to a good home. That's the way to move these things!

And thanks for the pictures. My shop has the same set up - full to overflowing.

The shop is a "bit" tight, you might have to ditch the rooftop garden and make a second level shop.
I could have made space for you to store it at my place.

so where's the crowed shop? you could ballroom dance in that place. I even see floor.

Having wiggled my way through @Mcgyver 's shop, I can attest that he makes maximum use of the available cubic volume!
