Syil Cnc mill

Nah, expensive. They don't even list a year. I guess I could take a look at it but I would not give more then $5000 for it - especially if it needs parts - i.e. not really in running condition (who knows what else is wrong with it). Usually when I sell stuff I make sure it is in running order not broken. Also on a pallet and it seems not anywhere near 240V - not a good sign. Only one picture - suspect as well. For more then 50c on a $1?

I save for something like a 10 year old Haas mini mill in a bit higher price bracket.
 
it looks pretty new to me. the screen and keyboard are of a new configuration. I imagine it's on the original pallet still. I think it could be worth 8K - but is it running? I agree that is the key question. I looked at Syil pretty seriously and decided a HAAS would have much better performance and resale value. The Syil is a perfectly capable CNC mill - it'd be a nice machine for somebody. It is a little small.

Certainly it is a nice machine if it can be had cheap - i.e. all has its price. I guess I could ask few questions about it but it is too far away to just drive to take a look at it.
