a super deal.

I wanted to start an engine, but havnt had the time or money to fix my sherline.
so once again I got discouraged.

today, I was at Princess Auto, its just like harbor freight for the US crew.
they had a tent sale, blowing out everything for 50 to 75% off. I stumbled on 2 new in crate x2 mills
priced at 300$ each, being a student I was happy with that price but to be honest its still much.
after talking with the manager he offered them to me for 150$ each, so I purchased one for myself and my neighbor got the other!

so happy ;D

not sure if they all do but it came with the collet chucks!

Wow! That's awsome! I thought I did some pretty good deals, but you are the man :bow:.

thanks all! so excited to have it.

I am thinking of CNCing one of the mills now.
maybe the sherline since it needs a new base, not sure.
probably box it up for awhile.

maybe they will have a lathe out tomorrow I can buy!

LOL, Awesome score. I'll bet you do real well with the ladies too. If you happen across a brand new Monarch EE lathe for around 200 bucks please keep me in mind.

You do realize such posts can foster tool envy jealousy and unkind thoughts toward the poster LOL
Seriously I think most of us wish we were the ones to find that deal !!!

I am on my way to Lee Valley and there is a Princess Auto next door. I guarantee you, my luck will not be that good....

Yikes. Sitting here in the Motorhome waiting for the 11AM ferry from Tsawassen consumed with tool envy. Maybe there's a Princess Auto on the Island......
