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
rgoldner at iname dot com.

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.

Thanks for the comment. I will have to consider the possibility.

Having done something very similar, I have to agree. I did find a
reasonable mill fairly fast. It took me a year and a half to replace my
lathe. That was on top of selling my lathe before move at about 3/4
what I thought it should bring.

You might want to look around the food marts/gas stations, etc. for a paper
named "Carolina Trading Post". Looks like a small newspaper with the banner
reading "Tradign Post Classifieds". It's generally on a rack of it's own.
Claims to cover NC, SC and Costal Georgia. Comes out every Tuesday. Section
77 is "Tools and Machinery".

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.
