That's about 15 miles south of my shop. Please keep me informed. If you need an inspection let me know I can go take a look and some pictures if you'd like, it's on the way to Milwaukee for me. Tom

I had a 3500 Lb lathe shipped 1000 miles in 2001, and the charge was about $600. That was arranged by the machinery dealer, I suspect I'd have never gotten a deal like that myself. Your mill presumably weighs a little less, distance is greater, prices have gone up. So, I think this is a good deal. Make SURE it is totally insured, or you may end up with a pile of broken castings.

You lesbians always get the special rates, though. ;-)

The mill has been shipped and received intact.

About $575 with insurance for $2000.
