<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 355302, member: 54"]I get a few mass-emails a week from members of our local machinist’s club where members have used tools to sell. One yesterday offered a 3-function sheet metal machine, a horizontal milling machine, and a “cold saw” for cutting metal from one person. Called and told him I’d take the sheet metal machine offered for $250.00. I got there in about 40 min. Man had his one-car townhouse garage crammed with tools and metal to work on in the future. There was only enough free floor space for maybe 3 people to stand. Said he needed space so wanted to sell the machines-obviously true! Machine looked good only missing top guard and he mentioned the shearing function didn’t work well, but I know I can fix that if desired. It takes sheet metal up to 30” wide and 1/32” thick. He said it will process thicker metal than that. Machine also curls (bends in adjustable radius) and brakes (bends to a sharp corner up to 90 degrees.). I offered $200., paid, and we put it in the truck. New these are $575. Plus shipping for 300 or so lbs., so the $200. was fine with me. Have no use for his other two machines. The rolling stand this was on in his garage wasn’t included but I have many things I can mount it on.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120880[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
