A guy is offering his Clausing mdl 008530 s/n 009852 mill, and a

garage sale type of deal.


Fair? That's a fantastic deal. Grab it, ... fast!

I have the 8520. Paid $1,600.00 for it, and that was a good deal as far as i
was concerned.



I saw on your webpage that you were thinking of selling the mill
eventually- don't do it if you can possibly avoid it. You'll not find
its equal for the price you paid- that thing looks as near to factory
condition as you can get short of it being stored in cosmoline from day
1. They say those little Clausings aren't the most rigid around, but
they are nice- and certainly lots nicer than the modern Grizzly
equivalents. You could probably trade it even-steven for a decent
Bridgeport if you want something bigger.
