Always a pleasure to watch your machine vids. Thank you. It is obvious that you go through the machines well, cleaning, inspecting, and painting, because you truly appreciate these old American iron machines for what they can still offer. When compared to anything else today you could buy for the same money, they are the better investment and nicer to use. The time and effort to go through an entire machine like this is HUGE. Best vid on the Millrite!

I purchased one of these for $1,000.00 was hardly ever used. Guy just did not want it, was sitting in the back of a dance hall and the guy really just wanted it gone. I purchased a 3 axis DRO for it from DROPros, all touch screen with a screen to show you were you are and where your next cut is, you name it it has it, ruby edge finder, the works, took me a couple days to get all the scales mounted but it works beautiful. I guess I have about 3,000.00 invested into the machine and now thinking about making it CNC for sure power feed. I may hold off on the CNC part because I am getting a 250k CNC machine anyways so not really worth it in the end I guess. But this end mill works great, glad I found it and saved it from more years of just sitting in the back of an old dance hall.

Hi, is that a VFD from automation direct? How's that working for you... the buzzing noise from the motor is normal when using these VFD...

Was there an addition made to your drawbar. Mine isn't nearly that long--sticking out of the top?

daveknowshow Hi Dave, the value of each used tool depends almost entirely on condition. I'd rather not get into value discussions.

Paid About $ 750 for mine years ago don't think I would pay much more than a Thousand Today you can buy a nice used Bridgeport for about $2500 - 4000 I have seen some as low as $1800 on craigslist

I have had a Millrite MVN Mill for about 15yrs its Ok at Best. Don't get me wrong its Precise and good for Milling But when you use a Bridgeport all day at Work this Machine has its Faults #1 No Back or Bull Gear for Slower Spindle Speeds #2 The Head Tilts Only in one Direction side to side not front to back and also when Tramming or loosening the head you have to hold on to it because it has no worm drive like a Bridgeport to adjust the head # 3 the Hand crank Quill it takes Forever to Drill a hole on this Machine. #4 Mine has and most do a #9 Brown & Sharpe Quill Taper its good for Hobbies or Home shop but that's It. I would like to get rid of mine and get a Bridgeport

1995dresser Yep, all valid criticisms. Otoh, nice small, capable unit. I have a video on tramming this unit that overcomes some issues with no provision for control of head. While vfd does not do everything a back gear would do, it does help.

Please Itousig. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of us out here that have no idea who you are, where you are, how to contact you, or how much you want for the mill. I got to this vid in a roundabout way. I CAN NOT afford to have a mill shipped to me, so it has to be within about 200 miles so I can pick it up. I really need all that info before I can pick up the phone and call you the first time. There is no reason for me to waste your time, or mine, if you want 3 times what I might be willing to give for an item. Please think about including all that info in your vids. Thank you.

+Wally Verbeck Hi Wally, Thanks for your interest! Here are some answers to your questions. Where am I, where is the shop? A: I live in St. Paul, MN, the shop is in Minneapolis where I have a fork lift and a loading dock. Who am I? A: I don't want my actual name used on KZitem or Instagram. I spent 30 years at the 3M Company here in Minnesota. I have been issued 6 patents for various forms of electronic cooling systems. I worked in the semiconductor industry reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You can find most of my videos either here on KZitem or on Instagram (15 second videos only): Instagram.com/arn_jones. Regarding sales: I try to minimize the sales pitch aspect of my videos, and strive to provide enough educational content to keep the videos popular whether-or-not the item is for sale. If the item is for sale I will post the eBay number in the description. I also try to provide a link to the video in the eBay listing as long as the eBay item is active. To minimize the commercial aspect of the videos, I do not include the asking price for the machines in my KZitem postings. This item is no longer for sale, it was sold a couple years ago. To contact me: My eBay store name is MdotMachine, If you want to reach me the best way is to use the "contact the seller" system on eBay. Thanks for your suggestion pertaining to providing a means of contact, I'll see what I can do to provide the eBay method here on KZitem and on Instagram. Lucas AKA Arn Jones, MdotMachine
