correct me if I'm wrong but looking at the pics of this big mill all the bottom
of it below the lower set of rails is solid but every thing above that is able
to be disassembled.
I wish I lived over there were you guys are,
I would disassemble all the rails saddle and every thing else. and cut up all
the bottom with an angle grinder put it all on a trailer and bring it home
and weld up the base back together when I got home. the long rail would be the
only problem but here you can hang it out the back of the car off the roof rack
over a trailer
OK as I said before dam cheap machine worth some effort to get it

I saw a machine on ebay that had a shipping calculator. To ship a 1200 it
was a little over $500. I have no idea if the owner has to build a pallet and
get the machine to a terminal for that price. I don't think shipping companies
would actually wrap something for you. Then of course there is the issue of
having a forklift to receive the machine. I do know that I've picked up large
machines at the freight terminals since I did not have a loading dock or
forklift where the machine was ultimately going. Apparently beer and pizza was
not enough to coax friends into lifting 3000 lbs either. Go figure :-). At
the terminal the company loaded the machine on my flatbed with no complaints.

Hello All,
Does someone really want a 2000 or 2200 or just the parts? When the 2000
was up for sale in KC a little while ago, I wanted the spindle, the railing,
and the z-axis. In fact these machines have about 3k in rails on them. In
any case, as I learned anything that ships that's over eight feet long is going
to be very pricey to ship. Getting the machjine for a few hundred, might make
it possible to fly in, rent a uhaul, strip off the rails and parts useable on
reasonable OM's, and drive them home. In advance, I'd line up a
salvage/recycle company and rent a machine to cut the 2000 into manageable
chunks and get whatever I could locally. Still, I think the machine would have
to be only so far away from home, and I'd have to be certain that I could sell
rail at $25 a foot, plus shipping to the new owner. Again, that's the killer.
I don't know a way around it.
