So I've decided that I want to upgrade my runout Millrite to a bigger mill in better shape! I ended up selling a bunch of my woodworking gear + some extra guns, and got together about $7k for a replacement!

On ebay, about a 4 hr drive from me, is a basically-unused Birmingham variable head mill with a 2 axis DRO and 2 axis power feed. Its a 10x54, so it is a pretty sizable mill, but I have the room. AND it is a bit under my budget.

Anything I should think about before just buying this? Am I missing some amazing other deal that would be similar?

I see a handful of bridgeports around, but they typically don't come up in all that good shape around here.
 
Looks brand new and comes with some tooling also . :encourage:

Yep! I put an 'offer' in. I'll have to take a day off work to drive up, but it shouldn't be a problem :)
 
:grin: Taking a day off of work has NEVER been a problem for me . ( specially if a machine or an old Cub Cadet follows me home ) :laughing:
 
He says he'll ship it for $5.20 also . ;)o_O:big grin:
 
Heh... despite having a 'make an offer' button, he declined my offer with
"I want $6000 for it and its a good deal at that price"

I guess he has a TON of ebay-problems :D
