Man does this look good. Much beefier than the Heald I looked at.

Now that looks like a nice mill! And a couple hundred less! I just read up on it and not only is it heavier duty than a BP the parts are still available. Thinking about redoing the garage? And have a rigger move it?

The 645 is a really nice all around mill.

Went to look at it this weekend and damn is it nice. Super smooth running, quiet, clean. Last 10 years were in a machinist home garage. R8 collet, 12” knee, shipped 3/9/66 per Wells Index. Really debating this.

Interesting that doesn't come up in CL anymore. Guess he's not all that interested in selling?

 

[Choiliefan]

Or sold it, perhaps?

well I tried again just putting in "mill" "milling machine" in LA and SF valley CL and it doesn't come up. Your link works but I have no idea how you found that as outside of that specific link you have a general search on my machine anyway, doesn't come up. weird. That is the nicest, cleanest mill on CL right now IMHO.
