3. Grizzly G4015 3in1 Lathe/mill/drill

4. 16", 3 HP shaper (large), w/ vise

5. K&T model K number 2 vertical mill, (table problem)

6. Surface grinder, 20" (IIRC)

7. shop made 10 HP rotary phase converter.

8. All the parts to make a 5 HP rotary phase converter.

9. Lots of 2" & 3" steel shafting material, various sizes & lengths. Some
stainless.

10. Some 3" & 4" pipe. Suitable for making gantries (A frames for chain

Ron: I think you would be making a huge mistake selling everything off
and starting again. From what I have seen in the way of equipment
available in south Florida, it isn't in real good shape, and if it has
been outside for more than a couple of days, it has a good start on
being rusted up. It would be a heck of a lot cheaper in the long run
to slather everything down with a good heavy coat of grease and put it
in a sea container and store it at the rv storage lot. You can
probably count on spending 3-5 times what you get for your current
tools to replace them and that doesn't include the time and effort
just to locate them or the transportation costs either.

Since we have to move too (theoretically) by the end of the year, I'm
busy packing and crating mine so that we can load the house, the shop
and the hangar stuff in just one day and get it going without a big
fuss.

Craig C,

This seems to be the main sentiment, but I have made the decision to sell
them.

I don't see the vertical head in the photos in your URL, and it
looks like those are the shots from the eBay auction when you first got
the machine. (Or are you trying to eBay it?) Anyway, they are the
typically terrible "ipix" pictures often found on eBay.

It *does* look as though there is either a pneumatic or
hydraulic vise on the table of the machine, which look interesting.

Enjoy,
DoN.

I just posted some new pictures I took today.

I have the air vise, but it isn't in the new crop of photos.
