Thank you, I appreciate you keeping an eye out for a follow rest and keeping me in mind.

This is a huge undertaking, I hope they don't get impatient and sell it all to a scrapper.
There are some nice machines that have another 100 years of life left in them. Too bad the tech schools are turning out button pushers and not machinists.
 
I'd suggest you hire an auctioneer. Craig's list will never bring enough buyers.

My fist stop would be machinesused.com
 
Wish it was a little closer, would love to get my hands on the LeBlond sliding gap bed lathe.:drool:

X2. I need a steady rest for my 16x54 Monarch if you find one laying around.

Because of the mix and match clutter, I need measurements between the part of the ways that it rides on, the shape of these (example: v or ^ front, flat rear) , and the center height.

Center of "^" to center of flat way is 6 1/4". From way to center of chuck is 8" (center height).
 
Would you be willing to box up a bunch of Drill bits, 1/2 inch HSS lathe cutters, etc in a priority post box and ship, If so how much for a box. Or if you have some AXA tool holders I could use some of those also.
 
Consider this: Leave the entire shop alone in place. Offer the property with the shop as it is for sale. Maybe some guy would (I know many, many would consider it but few could actually do it.) want to buy the entire thing to live in a small quiet northern Michigan town and have all that stuff to work with. Then widow can buy a nice condo in Florida on the beach with fond memories of her husband and his great shop.
 
What is there as far as end mills?

I'd like a dividing head and a small drill chuck , Albrecht with tight jaws for tiny drills. Even the hand feed adapter would be great. Some real nice machines there.
