Wanted smaller hobby milling machine

[Ggordon]

Just thought I would put it out there. I would prefer an older milling machine over a new Chinese milling machine but open to anything. Thanks for your time guys.

I imagine you saw the craftex 6x26 milling machine on Kijiji?

Was that the craftex out in Cold Lake?

Yes. Pretty high priced but it appears to be new condition.

Same machine that I have (ct054). Very high priced -- I don't think it retailed for that ever. When I bought mine, retail at Busy Bee was ~3200.

Yes if I was willing to spend that sort of money ($4500) now I'd be looking at the many choices of the newer style "knee-less" dovetail column mills that dominate the bigger small milling machines.

Thanks, you saved me a bunch of time.
