Picked up the mill today. Got to the sellers house in Tumwater at 10:30AM. Using a hoist in his garage we detached the mill from the cabinet stand, dropped it on an orange industrial dolly I brought and secured it on the dolly with tie downs. Rolled the cabinet which was bolted on it's own very heavy duty dolly(could support at least a ton) and accessories up the ramp into the pickup bed. Rolled the mill up the ramp into the bed. It was well enough balanced that I could pick up either end of the dolly to move it. Blocked the dolly in place with timbers, tied it down to the bed and took off. Despite the fact that it was on wheels it didn't move an inch. Here's my truck and son where we stopped for lunch in Tacoma.
The seller was asking $550 and I said I'd be glad to pay that if he would throw in a vise. Check out this bad boy, smooth as buttah.

ell got the power feed and 2 axis dro/scale setup complete and my little lathe and mill stations setup finally. So much fun playing with these lol.
Mill and lathe tool cart
This thing is actually very very sturdy. I replaced the top with a solid wood top since it came with veneered mdf and drilled holes for the rubber feet under the layhe to fit in so its nice and snug and feels as if its all 1 piece
On a side not decided to try this anti scale compound out - had a order from brownells anyway and figured what the hell. I like hand sanding but hate hand sanding scale so we will see...
