A buddy and I are buying the surplus machines from an older fellow, Some Lagun mills..very large drill press with a head that drills a bunch of holes at the same time, small horizontal miller etc.
Included in the buy em all, or none deal, is a Mazak MicroCenter V5 mill. It originally came from a local college. the Hobbs meter has
1327 hours on it. The table is immaculate. It has a Fanuc 7m control on it. Mid 1980sThe old boy had it under power..but had only run a few parts on it, hten he shut down his operation, the one fellow who could run it was layed off and everything sat for a couple years.
Now he opens back up again, with a partner, to manufacture a product line. The Mazak and the other stuff have to go away.
I fire the mill up, get an alarm 05. Thats all I know about it..Emergency Stop Alerm. Probably something simple.
We have been desperately trying to find someone who wants this thing for $2000. Has ALL the books, manuals etc etc
The carosel has 24 tool holders in it, Some sort of 40 taper. If we cant sell the machine, we are going to have to scrap it. Its in such beutiful shape..it would make a marvelous retrofit..shrug..as I asid..only 1300 hours on it...but we only have one guy so far that has expressed interest in it as it sits..all
10,000 lbs of it.If we have to scrap it..of course we will pull all the tool holders before it goes to the scrap heap.. At $20 each..no way Im gonna let those get melted down
Its in Santa Ana, California. if anyone wants it
