How about a Chevalier 2040 VMCL Vertical Machining Center with Anilam 6400 M control. Found one just a few miles from us. Probably go look at it. Add says it powers up but won't run because of no air. Very nice clean looking machine from the photos. Widow is liquidating her husband's shop (he passed a year ago) and this is the last machine she has to sell. Asking $6000 obo.

Hi Stuart, The Matsuura MC-1000V5 Spindle Speed: 3,600 RPM Geared Head. Surprised me as well. Spindle Taper: BT45 They are beasts. I have a slightly smaller 710V that I use for just about anything. Wish it was closer but there are several smaller ones within an hours drive from me for cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-MATSUURA-MC-500V-CNC-with-YASNAC-3000G-control/283531831618 $2k https://www.ebay.com/itm/Matsuura-MC-1000-VX-vertical-milling-center-55-table/201871869576 $4.5K -Bari On 11/6/19 12:58 PM, Stuart Stevenson wrote: > The Matsuura will cut anything.
