Id be posting a Craigslist ad for them in North Dakota. Given their

Im assuming they are Spanish made based on the name. Nothing wrong
with that btw. Good stuff.

What's the difference between these and new? How are they obsolete?

What is the difference? Other than all the working parts are somewhat
worn?

Not much.

The G code may be different. Not a big deal

As for obsolete...shrug..when one wants a mill that runs at 1000 ipm
and these may only do 500 or even 300...some shops would call that
obsolete.

And in a 24/7 production environment..they could..could be right.

For the production environment these machines would be used for...not
in the slightest bit. Loading a 200+ lb part on to the table and then
squaring it up will take some length of time, fixtures or jigs
nothwithstanding
