Free today - just down the street. Thought I could use it to hold tools and parts while working on my stuff.
No idea what it's "intended use" is.

Office furniture? Put casters on that and you have a great portable work table. No more tools on the ground.

Just got this motorcycle engine on Friday. ~170 lbs. Me and the transport guy lifted it off the truck and into my storage unit and with the two of us it wasn't all that easy. Assuming you are using a forklift for that, Milt?

AFA lifting goes because it is 40 years old the factory grease is NFG. So it came out of the truck piece by piece and will be assembled and dialed in the same way in place where it will live next to my 1944 South Bend lathe that I took apart to the last bolt and restored with new factory matching paint and the 5 different lubes the manual calls for.
No, I can't make anything because I'm not a machinist, I'm a carpenter. And I don't do work for anyone anymore. They're all going out of business anyway. Antiques are dead. But for 200 bucks I had to take it. |

The DRO kit is 2K. I'll get by w/o it. I could change out the lead screws to ball screws if I was that fussy. The DRO pretty much requires that change. |

For $200 that’s a great score, even if you can’t use it! It looks impressive!

Finally moved out of NY and to CO. I sold many of my tools and such as it was just too much to move. My son said sell it and just buy it when you get here. One of the first things I needed was a good 24' ladder. My wife found a ad close by on Nextdoor, for two ladders for only $30 for the pair! New they sell for $400 a piece at Home depot. Had to use the 300TD to haul them both home, as the Jeep GC does not have the cross bits on the roof rack. A couple of fun noodles on the Mercedes bars did the trick!
