FS: Grass Valley, CA, Sharp 3 axis CNC knee mill, Anilam control
Sharp 3 axis CNC knee mill, 10" x 50" table, square ways, NMTB 30 taper
spindle w/ power drawbar. There are NO holders included. Control is Anilam 1400. George owns a commercial shop and does very very nice work. He also takes care of his machinery. While I've not looked this mill over up close, from a distance, it looks as well kept as anything else in his shop. He's moving to a smaller building and needs to sell this one. 530-274-3414, mill is located in Grass Valley, California. George is the owner and to whom all questions should be directed. George doesn't do computers, so you'll have to fall back to the old fashioned telephone. No financial stake in this, just helping a friend. Jon |

Not sure what this mill goes for, but the used market on bridgeports is down
now. I was just looking at the prices on ebay for completed items and now is a good time to buy if you are looking for one.

I participated in a liquidation auction recently, bridgeports with DRO's would go for $1,500, and a 3 HP Sharp sold for about $2k bucks, IIRC. They are too much for me to handle, but I was salivating. Was that Sharp a CNC? I have no clue either what the real market value is. There aren't many machine tool auctions in this neck of the woods though. I just listed it for my friend, whether he gets that price, or accepts a lower offer, is entirely between him and a prospective buyer. Buyers should always do at least a little homework... And something else you might want to consider. I attended the auction of a former employer up here in Grass Valley a few years ago. The original owner had a pretty poor attitude towards machine tools. I had a hard time not running around telling everyone how thrashed the La gun mill and Jet lathe were. They probably would have thought I was just trying to discourage bidders and I might have been thrown out if the auctioneer caught me. Those machines went for the sort of prices you mention, but were worn out. A worn out $2k CNC mill isn't any bargain if it won't hold tolerances. Of course, if you score a tight one for that price, it surely would be a bargain! Jon |

Jon Anyone want a Bridgeport Boss (no idea about the Series) with a fairly recent rebuilders sticker on it...there is one in Palmdale California for less.probably much less than a grand. Has the original BP control on it, but the iron is minty. Gunner Gunner |
