Thanks for the kind offer Mike but its down in Langley, same deal holds for you to if ya ever need something looked at up in my neck of the woods. I'm surprised it's not sold already but I think the three phase scares of a few hobbyist. I'm going to give the fellow a call tomorrow and give him some money to hold it until I can pick it up in a few weeks. If I get there and there is some major issue that I can't live with I'm either out the deposit or the guy sees fit to give it back to me. Seemed like a really nice chap on the phone so not much of a risk I don't think. It is an affliction though...buying machine tools.

P.s if you don't mind sending me your address again Mike I got a few more large slitting blades that will fit your mill, found them in the bottom of a drawer the other day. Nothing I own will ever be big enough to put them to use, if ya don't want them that's cool too. I remember you saying you got horizontal milling cutters coming out your wazoo.
