SHARP 9x35 Milling Machine

[YotaBota]

And it is as nice as the ad said. Apparently only has about 10 hrs use and that personal issues forced the sale.

At the sellers place At the motel in Osoyoos

Didn't get any loading (big green farm thingy) or unloading pics as it was a flying trip and time wasn't on my side. I got to the ferry at 1300 on Thursday and there was already a three sailing wait to get home. I made the 1700 boat but if I'd been an hour later I'd have had to stay on the main land over night.
Now comes the fun part of putting in place and giving it a go .
BTW , there will be a KBC 830 coming for sale in a bit.

The other half slept on the door side of the bed so I was good. lol

Nice upgrade! Looks like one of those deals you couldn't say no to.

Lol!

I was wondering who slept in the truck .......but I didn't want to ask.

But I tried so very very very very hard to say no,,,, but alas,,,, I lost the battle.

I don't think you worry about your new toy in a place like that. I'm surprised he didn't make his better half hide under the bed all night. On second thought, I'm surprised he didn't hide under the bed instead. Course, he did say that she slept on the door side. Maybe he doubled down! She slept on the door side AND he slept under the bed......

That is a sweet looking machine! And sounds like you got a sweet deal to boot.

 

[YotaBota]

Except for the table being narrower the PM835 looks like the same machine (ish)

The on/off/rev switch works the motor, now I just have to figure out the rest of the handles and levers. lol

 

[YotaBota]

Well here it is in place at home.

The power feed showed up this afternoon so that will be the next little project. I think I have the handles and controls figured out so once the PF is running I'll make some piece of steel smaller than it is now.

Congratulations..... It looks happy in its new home.

Nice score, and it should be tight with only 10 hrs of use.
All you have to do now is . . .
figure out how to control all the metal chips you are going to create !!

 

[Susquatch]

Well here it is in place at home.

You suck.....

But really really really nice score.

Love to follow your power axis install......

What is this? Looks like a load cell or something.......

 

[historicalarms]

Looks like a 20T shop press. I have one looks the same except it's red.

 

[RobinHood]

Looks like Tweety the shop mascot is keeping a good eye on things too…

I looked right past that & glanced at the uncovered polyhedral wing. Or shall I say 'deadly drone' (don't get me started).
Nice Mill!

Actually, I noticed the wing first too..... That got me exploring. I love shop tours!

Going to have to make a trip out to see it in person.
