Where did you guys buy your used Fadal? Looking into purchasing another Fadal 3020 or 3016 and i was wondering if you guys tried other searching idea other than your local craigslist/eBay? Thanks

I use Searchtempest to search all of Craigslist and Ebay in one shot. Most of the machine tool dealers list on both. SearchTempest allows you to search within a radius, in miles. Much better than wading through cities one at a time. I'm near Portland, Or. and it only took me about 30 minutes to find exactly the CNC lathe I want in Tn. Going to drive back and pick it up next week.

Auctions, Fadals don't fetch a lot of $'s at auction.

Triumph406, I'm not familiar with auctions on used machine... how do I search for it, is there an online search that everyone uses? Starting to look outside of California.

call M&M CNC Service, Repair and Refurbishing of CNC Milling Machines they refurbish Fadals i believe they are the only one to ever get Fadal certification as a rebuilder. Call Dave he allways has a bunch of rebuilds and they basically look New if he does a total refurbish.
