looky what i'm getting for dirt cheap!.....vertical mill

[Trinitys]

This seems to be a good week for me, 2 kick ass deals in one week, first my 69 Grande parts car, then this. I can finally use this to make some strut rod mounts for the adjustable strut rod conversion I started last year.


I love how the military people get moved all around, and usually can't take a thing with them.......that equals good deals.

why you need to change motor? Different phase motor? Need tooling ,im the guy to talk to ,Maybe we can trade mustang parts for it ,I can get carbide bits , etc :D ,I been maching also a long time my family has been into tol@die , M e and my brother mostly ,He works at MOOG space shuttle and airforce parts, I back in 93 i was making tomahawk missle parts , I got my journeymans card back in early 90s .I started back in 86 almost 20 years now, If you seen my hands you see the .LOL lost finger tip, and many battle injuries ,Oh well feeds the family ,lol .I always wanted a mill and a little small lathe in my basement ,

its a 3 phase......no real prob thought. as for trading parts for cutters, pm me and we'll see what we can work out. i already have access to a pretty fully capabilable shop. not saying i can get anything im want, but it's kinda like a good barrow program.
good thing is that it came with a full set of collets and clamps.

this is my first goal...to make this. it should be fairly basic, but this is what the goal for rifht now is.
