Myford Rodney Milling attachment.

Is there any interest in this? I thought I would post it here before trying ebay, also hoping for a little advice on pricing. Item is is great condition, all parts supplied and just some cosmetic damage to the paint, not surprising when you try and pick it up! lol

You could do worse than advertise on here:

That's not a bad idea, I'll look into that, cheers.

Really not sure what to ask so was hoping for a little advice. It was a gift a few years ago but I never have time to use it and we could really do with some extra money since my partner and I are hoping to buy our first house this year.

well I have no idea of what they are worth, I currently have a large milling machine but looking to the day when I have to downsize workshops. Never actually seen one before so guessing they are quite restricted in terms of size.

Some good info here, unfortunately nothing about prices though.

+1 for another possibly interested customer!

Thanks for the advice and all the PM's I have had with help. I think what I will probably do is put it on ebay with a high value and best offer and then see what happens, at the very least it will give me an idea of what people are willing to pay and will be a lot safer than running an auction.

Cheers.

one on ebay at the moment and he has to having a laugh, you could buy a chinese lathe plus milling attachment for what he is asking or a stand alone milling machine

So what would you say was a "fair" price?

Hi

Surely the item cost is whatever someone is prepared to pay - it's value is a totally different concept.

Just looked that's hilarious... That's more than my 626 milling machine cost me!

I was offered one about 5 years ago for £200. I was tempted, and probably ought to have bought to resell, but it was well used and looked it, so I passed and bought a Warco WM14
