I have found a 2002-2005 Bridgemill locally. But not being familiar with the machine I was hoping for some opinions. It's got the DRO feature and some tooling. Overall, it's in pretty good shape. I don't think it's seen a lot of use. The only thing I could find wrong was the lathe power switch was broke and was replaced with (what appears to be) a standard light switch.
Does $2,000 sound like a good price for a machine like this given the limited information?
Thanks.

Already in contact with JT.
$2,500 new??? 15 years ago? For some reason I thought they sold for twice that.
Suddenly $2,000 isn't sounding like the deal I thought it was. :(
It depends on how it's fitted out. Some of the Bridgemills with full CNC, DRO and ball screws went for around 5K in those days. But even a standard one in good shape is a better unit than the new ones from Harbor Freight etc.Quote:

Thanks for the input.
