Is that a good price for that? I don't see any tooling

The phone number leads to Plaza Machinery https://plaza-machines.myshopify.com/

I'd say that's a decent price, I liked the Takisawa we had. If it only comes with the chuck, then there's another grand or two to tool it

Also I believe plaza-machines bears no relation to plaza machinery which was a reputable outfit run by a man named Joe who recently passed- I think his son may have taken over the business-?

ps edit: yes I was correct, Plaza Machinery is in Bethel, Vt. and is now run by the son Vinnie Bergamo
