The seller has a bunch of other interesting machines for sale.

But note that the seller does not list prices, the seller ads all say please contact, the seller has items listed for a longer period of time and the seller lists a phone number for contact.

Those all point to over priced dealer who wants top dollar.

As does the fact that despite contacting them via phone they do not respond in a timely fashion, which again points to a dealer who isn't eager to sell his stock.
 
The price on this is $6800

I may just go have a look if it is a numbers matching machine. I dont have a hydraulic profiler on my chippie. This machine sounds like the variator is in very good condition too. I saw video of low speed operation.
 
Yes he is a dealer, I asked how much it weighed, this was his response,

Yasir Jamal:​


Chris are you asking due to trucking? If so we can facilitate that as well for an extra fee. We sell industrial machinery and provide the entire service for our customers.


It's not like I have $6,500 burning a hole in my pocket, just window shopping and dreaming.

He is a broker and does not even have the machine in his possession.

A chippie like that weighs 1200 lbs. It is an easy lift using a bar through the cross hole in the bed just in front of the chuck. But I suspect you already know that ;-)

That sounds more accurate, he told me it was 4,500lbs so probably just guessing.

He really doesn't know much from my extended text conversations.

It is much more than standard chippie though because it has hydraulic follower attachment and power unit. But nowhere near 4500 pounds
 
I just saw this listed on FB marketplace for $8000.

It seems enough of us contacted Yasir about the lathe that he felt there was demand to ask even more. Here stupid me was thinking that I could talk him down to just under 4K or so

Ah right. I assumed a person would remove that stuff from the lathe before moving, but maybe that's not easy, or even a good idea. I took the splash guard off before moving mine, but that may be difficult here without disconnecting the hydraulics and anyway, it would make them even more in the way I suppose.

An English wheel is at the top of my tool wish list. I've been wishing for a little more time so I can try making one. Probably going to do the same thing I did with the bead roller, buy a cheap one and remake it into a better cheap one. :rolleyes:

Only after you have countless hours into making it work, will a good cheap one pop up...

Use a great big ball bearing unit as the flat wheel, and use the pivot of your compound slide, to turn varying radii for the curved wheels. The rest is just scaling the rigidity to the size you want to work with!

If you want to make car body panels, you probably want to be looking at a frame cut and welded of 3/4-1 inch plate with a lot of gussets and reinforcement, but if you want to only do smaller stuff, a frame of thick wall rectangular tube will do just fine.

I'll try to find my pictures of the one we had at work, and one made by a friend of mine (who used it to make half scale tanks for his half scale Harley bikes.
