I would like to take this machine in as a rebuilding project but only if a zero was omitted from the price.

My CL find was the opposite. Way under-priced. Wait a while and see if the price drops.

That is beautiful! I would like to find his brother. I don't remember the model number, but the vises are different. They can be raised or lowered to follow the "curve" of the bit. I used one at my first shop, then never had a machine that could copy a bit key so well. I do have a similar machine now (with those vises) but without the "turret" full of cutters.

Gordon: you got a deal on your Cole. The machine is across Lake Michigan from me........closer to OLDFAST.
M 'smith: I'm sure the price tag would be correct if the machine was in pristine operating condition. It is on my wish list.....but not for $500.
