Really wish I had a 40X100 shop instead of a 20X40. I was really interested in this older CNC Mill and it is still going for only $30 but... I looked at it and the thing is a lot bigger than I gathered from the photo. Its footprint is about 15X12. It would take up almost 1/4 of my new shop. If it was 6X10, I would have bid then and there. Oh well...
I did bid on a couple pieces of measurement equipment - indicators, some gauges, etc... but that will be it. Prices are all insanely low for the large stuff and insanely high for the cheap crap. There was a nice Rockwell Hardness tester which would be awesome for dialing in metal tempering but it is bidding right where it should be and above what I can afford. I have some calibrated test files that work fine - no need to get fancy. And again, need to keep an eye on the floor space.
