Value of an Ajax bench mill

[Rig Pig]

Just trying to find space to fit my new Q&S saw in and my little Ajax mill is in the way, anyone bought / sold anything similar and have any idea what it's worth? The end bearing and arbor are stashed somewhere!

Depends on what's with it, Complete / incomplete etc.

hate to say it but just a few undred squids...horizontals aren't worth the same as verticals.......sorry

 

[Rig Pig]

It's just a bare machine.

I didn't think it would be worth much, I got it years ago and haven't got round to doing anything with it, I always planned to build a vertical head for it, but as I already have a much bigger vertical it's not ever been a priority job.

hope this gives you an idea

Poor old thing has been pulled about!

ohh its old and not worth anything.....you could donate it to the industrial museum where I volunteer it was made in Halifax

can I go a bit off topic now

Ajax made toys for boys to play with, then they realised that the girls wouldn't want to play with dirty machinery, so they set up another company to make washing machines called Ajax Domestic Appliances. So there you have it, everybody has toys to play with and everyone is happy.

as you were guys, the topic can go back on track

@Rig Pig
Put on the for sale section, some member may find its what they need.

Be interested if it’s semi complete at least.

Mrs loves when I collect machinery

Ok I can list it, as far as I remember the only thing missing is the handle for the knee, I will see if I can dig out the rest of it.
