  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

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?

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.
