Hello, I found this BP for $500 on FB marketplace.
Seller originally wanted $2K but I asked $500 and he was alright with it.
Seller said he bought the mill so that he can learn how to use it but never had the time to do so, thus selling it.

What are everyone's thoughts on it?
I have an idea how to check the runout on the spindle/quill, what else should I look out for and how to do it?

Thanks.

For 500.00 grab it up before someone else does!
That looks like a decent machine but no one who isn't standing in front of it can tell you much more.
It is a step pulley, which I highly recommend as the head seldom needs repair.
It has a digital read out but not Like the latest greatest.
Don't hesitate It will be gone.

$500 is not far off from scrap price.
I would snag it myself If I had the room and cash. At worst it becomes a parts machine?
You should see most of the stuff offered up around here.
 
Something like that you shouldn't waste time asking about it- just buy it
 
Buy it, I wouldn't bother to check anything at that price.
 
What was that address ? Put snow tires on and go get it for $500 . That short table is quite cute . :encourage:
