Pardon the spam: FA: cheap woodworking machines

[Tom Gardner]

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?

[CW]

Verticle milling machine.

[Tom Gardner]

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.

[Tom Gardner]

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

[Edwin Pawlowski]

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

[Prometheus]

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.

[Tom Gardner]

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

[Tom Dacon]

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
