Archie. ? "Interesting question".? Maybe but whatever you're trying to answer wasn't the question that was asked :-)?

Edit - how much do you need the cash?
?

Interesting question. My personal view is I¡¯d rather sell cheaper to someone who genuinely wanted to get started in machining than someone who had more cash but just wanted a bargain. How do you tell the difference? I don¡¯t know but I would prefer to give something away than sell to someone on eBay who may split everything up and sell individual item for a profit. How much do you need the case if obviously a consideration. I¡¯m not rich but selling stuff on EBay doesn¡¯t interest me. I¡¯d rather give it away to a good cause.

Thanks.? Appreciate the suggestion.? Yes I can always come down a bit each month until they sell.?? Usually I put a bold "no haggling" to limit the #tire-kickers.
?
So the Grizzly is $855 plus freight on-sale right now (down from $950 plus freight).??? I have no idea if this is one of those "permanently on sale" type of situations??
The HF Mini Lathe (which I guess competes with the Grizzly?) is $799 list.? ??? I know there are no more 20% off HF coupons,? though maybe these items were always excluded.
|
That is the approach I take when selling tools - along with checking for comps on Craigslist and ebay.? If you have time, I'd suggest a little higher to start, given good condition and ready to go.? Maybe 75% & 60% of Grizzly/HF and accessories costs.? You can always come down.

I've upgraded to dedicated CNC machines and was looking for suggestions on how to price mini-lathe (Grizzly G8688) and mini-mill (Harbor Freight) for sale.? Used but well taken care of.? Fully adjusted.

Each has a fair amount of aftermarket accessories such as MT#2 chuck, A2Z QC toolpost, ER32 collet chuck/collets, 4-jaw chuck --- power feed, belt-drive, air spring, rotary table (plus all original parts. Stand/table for each.?
I was thinking of starting out at 60% of Grizzly/HF new price plus 50% of new cost for the accessories.???
Is this realistic?? In the end it's whatever the local market (West Coast USA) will support.? There is a bone stock G8688 on FB marketplace with no accessories and some minimal tooling (worse condition than mine) for $1000 which strikes me as "highly optimistic".

Clock Bulders and moon phase gear
I just purchased new rotary table and remembered that clock builders always what a 59 tooth gear made. This can be done on a mini lathe and a 36 worm gear 3" rotary table.?
Found a index chart use bs plates 
|
I have B&S indexing head and a large rotarytable. But it takes time setup use then put vise back and dialing in.?
?
So a small 3" rotarytable I can put vise is great.?
?
If need down size and use have a mini lathe it fit in a milling

Re: Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
I have a whole basement for a shop now, but maybe that won't be true forever. This idea is incredibly cool, and a 7x lathe would work as well as a Unimat if you found a big enough armoire.

These pictures inspired me. but I sold my unimat

have you used a Sherline/Taig/Unimat lathe?
How well do they work?

I have never used a Sherline/Taig/Unimat lathe.?

I was looking was under for lathes 24" and weight where two could could pick the lathe or 120 pounds [54 KG].
?
A 24" space is to small I think at less 30" Ideally 36".
?
I found most Armoire 24" , 30"/32" and 36". I have found a few 18" to 72"

For most hobby work great size too.?

I made a copy of this one, mostly from the pictures. I don't know who to attribute it to, it was ten years ago from the internet. There might have been instructions on mounting the saw, it is for a Harbor Freight. I would assume one could figure it out for his particular saw. It works well, I still use it to this day. I had a trigger type switch adapted to a handle I made for it, but now I just have a toggle switch I use.

Look up a universal portable band saw stand. HF has one for like $120 plus there are others. Need to make sure it will fit yours. I have one, can't remember the brand (to cold and snow to go out to garage but will look later if you want). Only used it once so far but it does work. Good luck. Ron

Re: ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE
The LIKE feature is of very little value - IMHO
Here is what the User manual for says:
Using the Like featureSimilar to social media apps
and websites, Groups.io has a feature allowing group members to indicate
that they like messages that are posted to the group. You can use
either of these methods to like a group message: - On the group¡¯s website, click the Like?icon at the bottom of the message.
- By email, reply to the message you want to like and enter either +1?or the word like?as
the text of your reply. (If your reply quotes the message you are
replying to, delete all the quoted text so your reply contains only +1?or like.)
This
reply will not be sent to group members or appear in the message
archive on the group¡¯s website, but your like will be included in the
count next to that message¡¯s Like icon on the website.
So - only if you look at the message on the site will you see the like count. In searching the last 700 messages, I never saw more than 1 person liking on any message.
A more important feature, again IMHO, is the Mute This Topic link that you will see at the bottom of the message.
??? As far as I can tell the like button only shows up if yer
reading messages from the groups page on , not in
standard email format either .
