Varnamo Milling machine excellent shape, $15,000, Calgary, AB

I ran Varnamo milling machines throughout my time in the Canadian Forces. and I suggest that it was hard to find fault with them. Intuitive controls, the way you moved the controls, was the way the table moved.

The only problem of note that we found, was that it was possible to power feed the table too high on the Z Axis, ans when the screw ran over the nut it dropped, and stripped the Z nut, allowing for a VERY large noise as the table dropped to the floor! The solution, was to replace that nut (nylon, HDPE, or some similar, essentially Plastic!) with a Bronze Alloy nut of the same dimensions.

Dunno that I'd figure fifteen large was a good price though, either.
