Cute small hobbyist mill (K&T #4) $1900

I paid $350 for mine. That included delivery. Its probobaly 1940'S vintage.

Wanna bet he has to pay to get that mill hauled out of his basement.

Best Regards Tom.

Its a very reasonable price, if nothing more than scrap value.

It looks like a nice mill, if one has the room and power to run it.

Exactly. And moving the 14000 lbs of it. Which takes away 99% of HSM'ers. Given there's no commercial/industrial market, that leaves him with little to no market for it. As Tom said, he'll probably end up paying to have it hauled away.

never seen a scrap dealer bid that kind of money

Scrap value as brought into a scrap yard, is $1400.

In your area.

The convent that Habitat is converting in Lawrence MA had a huge amount of cast iron radiators, as well as a huge cast iron boiler. The scrap dealer is giving them 30-some cents a pound. For cast iron, steel is WAY less.

If that's the case in Milwaukee, then breaking down this mill to separate the cast iron could be profitable. Say 90% of it is ci, then

Thinking that that cast iron price is not normal, Bob
