• 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.

Russian Deckel FP1 “clone” Caledon, ON

I wouldn’t call it a deal at $2800 but it’s an interesting machine nonetheless.

Caught my eye and I looked into it, appears to be a Soviet made machine very similar but not identical to a Deckel FP1. Notably both horizontal and vertical spindles are MT4.

If the power feeds are working it is a steal. It is not unusual to see a stripped gear in the ram (Y) or the table (Z) power feeds on *real* Deckel machines.

If it is just working as a mill with manual feeds, it is still prolly a better investment than a lower end offshore mill for more money.
 
Oh.... those Russians :)
The writing on the wall behind the mill, Those numbers and suspiciously eastern European!

Funney story I went on Google to try and find some info on my mill I got a way while back last year or so and it led me to here , I was shocked to see my mill posted here ! I got it for 800 $! Glad i didnt pay 2800 for it . I took a year restoring it mostly because I was hesitant to get started . She's getting wired up this weekend , had to buy a new mortor and vfd for her to get her running in my garage. They wer still runing her right till the second I picked her up in Toronto
