I'm mostly a lurker on this group, but thought someone here might be
interested. I'm moving from South Florida to the Hickory area in North
Carolina. I have a CNC mill (baby bridgeport 8X36 table) and a 12X36
lathe to either sell or move. Both of these machines are only a few
years old, have had very light use (just hobby use) and are in perfect
condition. I converted the mill to CNC with a PC control using Mach3
software.

If anyone can offer an inexpensive trip for these tools to NC I would
be most appreciative. If not, they are for sale (I will buy new
equipment in NC) for a total of $4,700 for both. The mill will come
with no tooling. The lathe will come with an 8" three jaw, a 10" four
jaw, a steady and follower rest and some other tooling. My email is

Thanks!


Something to consider..you may NOT be able to find machines at the
other end. A friend of mine moved to Kansas not long ago, sold off
his machines, with the same idea you have.

He is now paying nearly double what he sold them for, to have
machines shipped to him.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

yeah, the Hickory area is not replete with such machines. that is a
fairly small market area, compared to areas like raleigh. you may have
the sort of trouble gunner is talking about.
