Deal King has reawakened!

Found another machine on Craigslist and am going to look at it on friday :D

It's old, but its my brand, it seems to have been taken care of (they bought it when it was new) and the price is right.

I could use it to make billet triple clamps [evil]

I'm pretty stoked to get this thing.

I'm going to have it inspected by a pro (the guys that installed my lathe and did the service work on it)

I think they'll give the [thumbsup]

These past couple week have been riddled with mechanical problems. We've gotten through most of them. It just takes cash.

Lots of trouble with a 5 cent o-ring failing. It allows coolant and hydraulic oil to mix which really sucks. Not to mention its a make the beast with two backsing oil mess to drain and refill things.

I swear I've had more hydraulic oil on the floor this past two weeks than anywhere else, like in the machine.

On the upside I think I have a real shot at a 12 month blanket order on some fairly easy parts. Monthly releases and about 40 hrs to machine everything.

New to me mill is coming to the shop 11/9

Lots to do between now and then.

Remove a wall, studs and insulate the remaining exterior walls, epoxy the floor, run electric for machine and outlets. 

No problem 8)

You can build your own parts when the machines are open ;)
