Thanks TM51. Not being in the field, I'm not familiar with some of the names but I did run into a jig borer that this guy was trying to sell for his grandpa. So looked up what the hell a jib borer was. It looked somewhat like the 1A but had no name plates on it. He tried for a couple of years to get $1500 for it, then it just went away. It was his grandpa's pride and joy.
I went to a huge barn sale about a month ago now and there was three huge machines sitting outside, each probably 7' tall and who knows how much they weighed. The first was a Axelson mill that looked ancient. An even bigger American Tool Works horizontal mill. Neither of those names were familiar before your list. They wanted $400 ea. for them. No way would they fit in a garage. There was an even older drill press that was probably 10' tall. Last I saw as the place was finally emptied out they were still sitting outside![]()
