Router Table and/or Benchtop Milling Machine?

[Flat Six]

I need to get rid of both a router table and a benchtop milling machine; don't use them anymore and I'm running out of room in the garage. Both barely used.

Router table is a Bosch RA1181:

Mill is Harbor Freight/Sieg 44991:

I'd like these to go to a Pelican. They're too big to ship, so local pickup only -- I'm in Las Vegas.

Here's the deal: no charge, though I wouldn't say no to a bottle of bourbon in exchange.

I need these gone in the next few days, otherwise it's off to Goodwill. Let me know (here or PM) if you're interested.

Dang that little mill is cool and what a great offer, despite it being Harbor Freight how is the performance?

Way more capable than I am as a hobbyist machinist. I bought it a few years ago to do a couple of specific projects and to learn more about machining; it is perfect for that.

I found 5 things made a huge difference to the quality of machining I was able to do: 1) getting the machine trued up/trammed up properly; 2) solid workholding; 3) solid machine mounting; 4) the right (quality) tooling; and 5) understanding proper feed and spindle speeds.

If I had the room and, frankly, projects to work on I'd keep it.

I’m interested, let me contact my oldest kid and see if he can pick them up in the next couple days.

He landed in Vegas an hour ago and is already on his way to Havasu for the weekend. He will be back to Vegas on Monday to fly back out and also has a friend in Vegas that can pick the stuff up before Monday, if needed. If you値l send me a PM with your contact details and your favorite bourbon choices, I値l pass it on to him.

Thanks, Jeff

PM sent.

And you have a reply.

What a generous offer. I have talked to my kid and he’s super excited. We already have a couple projects in mind for these things.

Thanks again.

Love the power of Pelican!
