machine inspection Denver
I've been on the search for a Lagun ftv-4..
There's TWO at an auction in Denver. Bit of a road trip. I'd gladly pay somebody to go inspect it, take a bunch of pics, and talk to me over the phone while you're in front of it. Karl |

Karl I think I know of one in California..Anaheim Even more of a road trip. http://www.mcleanlathe.com/ Ask for Joe or Mike, tell him Gunner the OmniTurn guy referred you. Thats a BIG freaking mill. Even I nearly need a stepladder to run it. Gunner Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

Even I nearly need a stepladder to run it. You should see one make chips. Do you know, for sure, of the condition of this unit? There's an FTV-4 on eBay, reliable tool, right now. looks like they did a super job cleaning a beater. I almost contacted you for an inspection of that unit. I shook hands with a fella to buy my Bridgeport just as soon as I get a replacement mill. Plus, my son is laid off right now. I'm buying gas to anywhere in the good old US of A to pick up a nice FTV-4. Karl |

No one wanted to use it, because they are all short latinos, and needed to stand on a box to run it. Give em a call and see what they say Gunner Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |
