    Default Complete Milling machine setup

    My Dad is downsizing and has asked me to sell his workshop equipment
    He was into live steam engines and clock making and the equipment has been lovingly looked after and has had a very easy life.
    Up for sale is the complete setup, machine, setup equipment and tools as well as a good quality rotary table and dividing plates
    The machine is a Hare & Forbes type LC-15A- made in Taiwan with an Australian made Crompton-Parkinson 1HP 240v motor.
    This is one solid machine
    • 20mm drilling capacity
    • Table size 430x180 T slots , nuts included
    • 300mm travel
    • 130mm traverse
    • Vertical Quill movement 100mm with a graduated stop
    Included is
    • The milling machine
    • Spare chuck
    • 2 draw bars
    • 150mm rotary table with vertical and horizontal mountings
    • Large machine vice
    • Face cutter
    • 2/3 Morse taper sleeve adaptor
    • Packing block set

    He is asking for $1400 for the lot
    It must be collected from Maroubra in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. It will need 2 guys to remove it.
    At this stage we are not interested in splitting up the offering, it really suits someone who wants to start milling

    lots of views, I will list it on eBay on Monday if there is no interest.
    This is a very good setup at a reasonable price

    I have seen mills like that, bare, no extras fetch nearly that quite often. Good luck with it.

    I am amazed no one has snapped this up including myself as you already know room is the problem for me. I hope it does well this is a bargain price for everything included.

    Default Prices of import copies

    Hey guy's,
    i brought a wood planer 15 years ago, the cheapest I could afford, 100 bucks from a tool store, cheap import, but Makita blue. Now you can buy them for 19 dollars off the shelf. Hare and Forbes have these Mill options at reasonable prices. All shown are copy imports too. With respect only the accessories make the mill valuable. Cheers Mark
