Small 110/220 volt mill. Nice and smooth little machine to get somebody going. Easy load onto a trailer. Heavy little bugger. $2500.
His CEO nixed the idea of expansion. We all know that feeling!!!!
Right here...and my CEO says McGyver is a lucky man lmaoWhere's the guy in Kelowna who's looking for a mill?
Back in the day that I attended every gun auction in the area for fear of "missing that bucket list unbeatable deal on a model of some otherwise unattainable jewel". I would invariably come home with something else...or two or an arm full. No mater how many followed me home, standard procedure was to througth my hat in the door first....if it came back out at me all chewed to hell , as it always did, it was time to cut & hide everything for a few days!!sigh, doesn't he know its easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission?
Last night, I came home with an Inca jointer planer. Probably considered a joke if you've got full sized stuff, but it fits in my extremely limited remaining space and has the whole Swiss quality thing going.
I was slightly nervous about the boss's reaction to bringing yet another machine home, so I chose the obvious solution .....I just didn't tell her! I had to borrow a friends truck to fit the stand. Coming home in a vehicle other than my car should have been seen as an impediment to stealth mode, but it was dark, so full of hope I crossed my fingers and did the deed.
I get in under the cover of darkness, but she had good intel. Walking in the door I hear "whats that in the driveway". Uh-oh....thinking its the planer stand in the truck she's spied. "Whot?" says I. "Who's truck is that?" she asks. I sense an escape route, might I survive to acquire again? "Oh its Ron's, I needed to bring a planer home and he loaned it to me". "Wow" she says, "Ron never loans anyone his truck"
Mission accomplished!
I may be a bit biased but for the majority of hobby guys I think it is a good size, BP's are nice but you need the room to house them. The only thing that may get changed on mine in the future is to add 3ph and a VFD.That's a nice sized machine
