Another place to look is craigslist for your area, I find 1-2 a month locally and occasionally milling machines. Look under tools.

Checked there too. There is a really nice rebuilt south bend 9, 3/4” spindle diameter though.

Yes sir. That’s a pretty piece of history there. Too long for me. Now if we could cut her in half...

Known over here as liquid overhauls... degreaser, paint and maybe an oil change.

The "A coat of paint hides a multitude of sins" phrase wasn't coined out of thin air.

If you cant move it paint it.

It is my understanding that Grizzlys are a little light in their bearings. South Bends are OK but some models do not have their ways hardened. Granted, this is old data. Don't know if it applies to newer machines. Now if you could find a nice Monarch in the size you want that has only been used on Sundays for about $10,000.00, you would be in business.
