Nothing to do with me, if it was closer I'd buy to sell on.

Very tempting...would it all go in the back of a pickup
More to the point would it still all be in the back of the pickup when I get home

I moved the same mill a couple of weeks ago in my 8x4 trailer. If the lot would fit in, I would go down and collect. Unfortunately it would mean van hire with tail lift for me. About £100 and a day's work. Still tempting. I hope someone buys them soon or i may have to. And I don't really want to!

Whats the footprint on the mill roughly? Looks like it fills most of a pallet

 

[Richiew]

The mill is a Chester 626 I think. You should be able to look it up. It goes by other brand names too depending on who is selling it.

 

[striker]

Yeah it's a 626 type. I'm just finishing mine, with levelling casters, a riser block, 3 phase 2hp motor and vfd. I paid more than what he wants for all machines.

 

[Fred Trevvett]

Ah thanks, I wasn't sure what model it was.

He's listed the lathe again for £225, so maybe there were no takers first time round?

 

[500e]

DONT
