It is not free.

You contact them and they say tell me your best offer, we have someone else and we will sell to best offer. They should say that right in the ad instead of being under handed about it
 
WTH. This totally kills any criticism of us who claim of the east having the better price on machines.
Never mind torontobuilder posted seems like a scam.

I wouldn't trust a thing the seller says then, he's already lied about the price.
 
Basic A1S machine.

Starting to think that facefook needs to start a feedback mechanism to deal with ripoff artists.
 
That is "Busy Bee" green, buddy of mine has that machine. Not a Round column but still belt change driven....about the only advantage over a round column is the head can be tilted one way or the other
 
What about not losing Z axis position when moving?
Just a comment on that 'problem', to the effect that as much hand wringing a tooth knashing as it has accounted for over the years, if a fella simply learns to be efficient at a couple different methods of finding edges and finding centers, the issue, becomes a non-issue!

Just sayin'! :) For all it gets worried about, most fellas using these mills are not constantly going from long to short and back again tooling, such that they need to worry at all about it, and I would suggest that , based on my experiences using a round column RF-30 mill, most guys are still laying out, scribing a line, and cutting to it. The extra few seconds or minutes that it takes to indicate in on a hole or feature, simply becomes part of the least part, of the work flow, and in almost all cases, simply planning your work to include say, a drill and a reamer that are near the same length, allows you the ability to swap tools and still move from hole to hole without losing anything...

And, fwiw, it's a Jet Branded model, per the label on the data plate in the picture above. (post #2). My observation of what Jet tools I have seen, has been that the are pretty much mid-pack of the Import stuff, not the worst, but not the nicest either, and priced about right for their market.
