Pardon the spam: FA: cheap woodworking machines

Jun 09, 2006 10 Replies

After 127 years, we are no longer making our wood blocks so, I'm selling off most of my machines. (I just can't part with everything) I know what we paid for these and I know what they cost to maintain and I think they are well below market value. It's the sad end of an era but I need the floorspace and a new Bridgeport. Please excuse the blatant marketing but something here just might be what somebody here is praying for and will put another American to work.

should be a link to the stuff I have listed: 36" bandsaw, 18" cross-cut saw, rip saw, drill press, moulder. We have processed MILLIONS of board/feet of Beech.



I'll miss the aroma of fresh sawdust...a LOT!!!

What's a Bridgeport?

A Bridgeport is like a 3 dimensional router for metal with precise control over all 3 axis. Accuracy is measured in the tenths of thousands of an inch. (.0001") We build our production machinery and punch-dies in house.

Man, I wish you were closer. Too far for me to tote that kind of iron, though.

No, no...it's REALLY light!

A city in Connecticut. Damn, they are moving an entire city into the wood shop?

I wish... I was really drooling over that drill press, but it'd cost twice as much to move it as it would be to buy it in the first place.

Would you feel better if I wanted more for the machine?

Wood blocks? What kind of wood blocks did you make?

We make wire brushes, about 400 SKUs I now buy the parts from an Amish mill that supplies a number of manufacturers. See my stuff at
