Not to exciting to you eastern boys
but here in Idaho been looking for a decent mill
for awhile. Found an older 5hp 10X54 Taiwan built Acra - CK-4HK
for $400. weighs about 3,000lbs ??

On closer inspection today the 5 hp motor is a 3hp
three of us looked at it from the ground and saw 5hp on the tag
but from the amperage it has to be 3hp
good really as a 3hp VFD is much easier and cheaper
going with the Hitachi, WJ200-022SF $315 on Ebay
Unless I find something better.

That is a variable speed mill, if you put a VFD on it there is a very real
risk of overheating the motor or shattering the rotor.
