There are many spares, tooling, and upgrades included, such as a Quick-Change Tool Post and tool holders !!!
I would be willing to crate it up for free, but shipping would be the buyer’s responsibility. I could deliver to a reasonable distance from Chicago, so a Midwest buyer would get it cheaper.
damn, I wish My wife would kill me in so many different ways it’s just not funny! Have you tried posting on any of the machining forums or even craigslist.
Some lucky bastard here should get “my” lathe! I was lined up to buy it from CX 8 months ago but delays on his new lathe pushed back the sale and now I no longer have the $$$ for it. :cry:
Let’s see if we can keep it in the family here. I almost hope no one here buys it so I don’t have to be reminded every time he/she posts their latest piece of awesomeness that was made with it that it might have been mine.
Being serious, by the time you’d bought it, shipped it here, bought a transformer, paid import duty, you could have probably bought a new one from machine mart. :~
If you want a lathe essexman, keep an eye on eBay and look out for factory clearances, most will be three phase though so factor in a possible motor and starter swap.
Chicago x. It sounds like a real bargain. The spare parts, quick change tool post and tooling etc all add up to a fair amount of money if this is bought seperately. Good luck with the sale.
