WTB: Looking For A Bench Mill

[kajun]

I have moved to Jacksonville Fl. sold my big knee mill and want a decent bench top mill, (space issues ) would like to find a used one within 200 miles of here so I can drive to it and pick it up. Suggestions on a new one? Heavier the better. Thank you for any input, or suggestions where to look.

I was checking Precision Mathews site for their Taiwan 2 hp bench mills. They are out of everything it seems. Most are available on backorder.
I think that means within 6 months?
Good luck!!

Yea I contacted them and mid July I think they have a shipment coming in.

I’d be all over that one like white on rice! A little high, but maybe you can talk him down. A real Taiwan RF45 with auto down feed.....dood!

Thank you. I will try to contact him.

I am second in line. Some fellow is looking today, sounds serious, soooo, I am still looking.

Good luck! Hope the first guy tries to talk him down to $1K, gets kicked off property and you score!
