It appears that one of the Catholic high schools here in Oakville is offering some metal shop-related items:


Note that they have eschewed the mundane description of "Lathe"--opting instead for the more colourful moniker: "Metal Shearing Machine". ;)

They are also offering a RF-30 mill/drill that is very similar to mine except it is a few years older.

No idea if any of these will end up as a "deal". Many of the lots have already attracted multiple bids even though the close isn't for 10 more days. With 6% buyers premium and 13% HST added on top, I would guess the out-the-door prices won't be gloat worthy.

1 Day 19 Hrs remaining.....

C $1,150.00 so far for the lathe

C $1,050.00 for the mill

13% HST, 6% Buyer's Premium
 
Ozark tools has the manual if anyone picks up a lathe.
There's no mention of tooling so I think a good price will be hard to determine, $2000 in the garage could be a good deal.
Edit - I looked for more info on lathes.co.uk but there is no listing. Is Nardini a side brand of another company?

Thanks for keeping an eye out there Craig !!
Sometimes . . . good deals slip by before we have time to research them.
 
Well, I can only say the lathe is worth way more then that milling machine. At 1050 plus fees the mill is more or less no longer "a deal" for Ontario.
 
Roll-in bandsaw: $1,407



6 X 18 surface grinder: $898 (!)

The surface grinder is a pretty good deal . . . If the mechanics and slides are in good shape.
I would think these school units would be in good shape, at least the machines in my high school courses were gently used and well maintained.
