Craig,
I believe that this is the same model of mill that I have except this one has power feed.
Cheers,
Chad
Is that what they want for just the mill or both mill and press?
$2K is a generous offer. I am embarrassed for even posting that.
No need to be embarrassed
You didn't post it, I did. And Ya, I thought 5K sounded a little off. Might be worth watching to see if the price changes though.

Mill is old and has rust - its over 40 years old and not a quality made iron. Maybe a 1500 - maybe a bit more if vice and accessories come with it. It is not an RF - its an old BB mill that is a tiny non-ram version of B-port. 40 years ago Asian imports were not as well made as today.
Press? Maybe few hundred dollars. They are not really worth that much used - I passed a 100t for like 300 CAD. They come around often on auctions. Maybe more with threading stuff thrown in.
So if someone wants this I would offer 2000 for both with all accessories.
BTW - a full size B-port can be had without too much sweat for 4000.

That is a B048 mill from Busy Bee. I had one, and sold it to Janger MUCH cheaper than 5k$ - and it was in showroom condition. The upside (?) with that mill is that it is 2000 lbs. So it is very rigid for a small machine. With rust, no tools, and the big shortcoming: the spindle is only 7" from the column - it is a 2k$ machine MAX. probably less.
Can't imagine that there have been any serious offers
Busy Bee Tools lists the weight as 450 kg (992 lb) which seems correct to me since I just hoisted my mill with a 2 ton engine hoist with the boom extended and had no issue with deflection.

Mine was from 1996, and the sheet said it weighed 2000 lbs (perhaps Janger has that user manual I mailed to him. I have since deleted it.)
anyway, the series I bought were way heavier than 1000lbs. I didn't have a crane scale at the time. but was about right for weight.
Yes the new ones are only 1100 lbs. Mine had 1" thick casting on the riser and base, contributing to the extra weight.

The guy selling this mill doesn't seem to know that a new model can be purchased for $5500 either or he might re-evaluate his asking price.
He knows now... don't ask me how
Well.... he ain't budging so far.
I don't recollect seeing this in the original ad. "Type KF VO A1, Mfg # 64509, 1978, Kao Feng Machine Co"
He didn't reply to my note on pricing. So I presume he either hasn't received the email, doesn't care and therefore likely won't negotiate.
