Transport Leaving Wednesday for the East Coast

Sep 23, 2006 14 Replies

I'll be leaving Costa Mesa, CA on Wednesday for the East. First stop is in Colorado Springs to drop a 20" bandsaw and the next is in Ohio. This pretty much sets me up to run I-70. I have another bandsaw for the DC area and a small lathe to pickup in CT. The trailer isn't even half full right now so I can offer two things. Cheap delivery on any of the machines I have for sale.See my rough website:

have me move a machine you sold on eBay or here on RCM. I have no loading equipment so both shipper and receiever will have to work with me. I'd like to add a couple of bucks to this trip as right now I'm just making the cost of gas. All you guys that have said there are no lathes. etc. available for you to purchase should look at my equipment list. I think I have at least 10-12 and they are fairly attractively priced. There is nothing wrong with $600. for a SBL 9" on factory cabinet or $1100. for a SBL heavy 10 on factory cabinet. I even have a couple of totally complete early Clausing 12's for $600. If you want Chinese I can even supply a 12" in excellent condition for $1500. I will be in the Chocolate field about CL30-40 if any of you want to contact me there. Leigh at MarMachine



Oddly enough I'm finding myself making a similar trip at a similar time. Leaving next Friday from the DFW area heading to CT with a 24' auto / cargo trailer nearly empty on the way up (will be full on the way back). Should be a tiring pain in the posterior.

Want to have lunch on your way through tennessee pete? Send me an email.

My route as mapped by Delorme Street Atlas has me passing well above TN, through IL, IN and OH.

Ewwww From Dallas Fort Worth?...odd I would have thought it shorter to go I40 to I81. Check it out.

Leigh:

You would be welcome to supper or a visit to the school shop. Or both for that matter.

You don't say where in CT you will be but if in the eastern half consider yourself invited.

No money right now for buying machines (also you've not got anything I need at the moment). However if you happen to take I-40 on your way back I've got a couple of things that I think Gunner might like.

Right now we have to go through Oklahoma City on the return so you might suggest to Gunner what he might like. The trailer is still not fully committed westbound either, so anyone needing something East to West along I-40 should start asking questions.

Errol: That is a great offer! I often get ahead of schedule and if I can see a few free hours I'll give you a call. I know if you are anything like me we could spend three days deciding which way is the best to hold a triangular, rounded hex shaft with 12 protrusions at random angles to fit a .0004" keyway on the left.

If he does..Ill give him the big #5 Tweeco Mig torch I keep forgetting to send to you.

I have a Lincoln LN 7 with gun and wire. I have no way to operate this tech school hand me down. It sure needs a good home.

Well, north of Dallas proper, actually up in Denison near the Ok border. Will review routing options some more before I head out.

I've got your plasma torch parts boxed up but I've never got them sent. If he has enough room I might throw the old plasma machine itself on the trailer as well so you can have a source of spare parts.

You're welcome to stop by either way. I've got a old Linde PCM-100 that Gunner could use as spare parts for his as well as the torch and parts he needs for it.

If anyone would like a Precision form grinder I've got one of those available as well.
