Posted by Gunner Asch on February 8, 2010, 11:04 am Please log in for more thread options Before I forget to post em...this is something I bought last week. Little miller that we are going to be using in our shop. http://picasaweb.google.com/gunnerasch/VanNorman36# Came with about 500 lbs of tooling and another 200lbs of cutters etc etc. I think there is every accessory in the catalog with the machine. I think I did ok for $1500? Course..cost another $350 to move it..shrug The machine had been rebuilt 12 yrs ago, according to the records and has been used very little since then. Ill post some additional pictures of the tooling etc. The gomer in the photos is my partner. Gunner, off to LA Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do something damned nasty to all three of them.

The fact that you mention how many pounds of tooling came with it speaks volumes of why such shops go under. Unless one has a niche product that does not require competitive machining techniques, that machine is a boat anchor - hence the price per pound sale. Ok for a little home shop (though a bit big) but a huge waste of money for any shop trying to stay in business. You paid scrap metal rates which is what is is worth. -- Bill Posted by Robert Swinney on February 8, 2010, 2:51 pm Please log in for more thread options Before I forget to post em...this is something I bought last week.

Posted by Robert Swinney on February 8, 2010, 2:53 pm Please log in for more thread options That is some heavy duty machine, Gunner. How do you plan to power it? Will there be enough oomph in the power drop to your shop? Bob Swinney Before I forget to post em...this is something I bought last week.
