I have a friend that has a 10 ft stroke surface grinder and fresh paint
don't make them cut any more accurately.


if you're selling it, paint is the most cost effective thing you can
do.


Yes you'll probably fetch at least a slightly higher price, perhaps
especially so if the buyer happens to be someone who is rarely if ever going
to actually operate it.

Otherwise, you've just added another overpriced used machine tool to the
market.

Especially a "taken apart" paint job. many folks know to shy away
from a quickie over the top painting.

paint simply be left intact
