[QUOTE="DMC, post: 44161, member: 430"] No, I mean they have the oldest mills in America, right? And, all of their mills pretty much run 24/7, right? If they sold one of their 10 mills, do you think it is going to be a winner? Ball-screws are probably worn out by now. They'd sell their oldest mill first. (Going to be a Power Automation and have the most hours on it of all mills in the USA) OK, You go buy it Jay. I service my own mills and grease them 2x a year or more. I make sure to get the evil Z-axis Zerk fittings. Ya know? I'm a small lab and paid for my mills with blood and sweat. I need them to run for a while, and no I do not abuse my mills. Do you think the people who run the Lava mills at Issaquah give a rats ass if they are greased or not. Jay, I think you asked a silly question. Yes, I think a used mill from Issaquah would be a turd. Crazy high spindle hours...automation and all moving parts sketchy by now being over a decade of use. right? I'm looking for someone who has 1yr of bank payments left or maybe just finished paying the loan and is ready to get the mill out of their office. Five year old mill at max, and I hope with the Beckhoff PLC. [/QUOTE]
