My father passed away recently leaving us a Maxmiat V10 lathe, with what

I would like to know how to value this machine, and where we may be able
to sell it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff,

That's a high-end hobby lathe, Austrian. Many of them were used in labs and prototype shops. They are highly regarded despite some weak points. Some of those came with a milling column that bolts to the backside of the bed. If yours is complete with the milling attachment and all the usual tooling, it would easily bring $1500-$2000 here (Texas).

I would probably list it on Craigs List first, then after a couple weeks go to Hobby-machinist.com or PracticalMachinist.com. Ideally, have someone knowledgeable and local go through it and identify all the thins that should go with it, and take good photos.

Good luck

Rex

Excellent advice
