While touring the local scrap yard today I came across the frame of a machining center. The Y and Z axis (including ballscrews) are intact but the table was removed from the saddle and could not be located.
Brand is Taiwanese. About 2500 lbs. Spindle is #30 taper. Ways (flat - not linear element) are slightly rusted but not beyond cleaning. No motors, controls or enclosure. One might be able to cobble up a table from a weldment. I considered it but I have too many unfinished projects already.
The machine is located in LaGrange, Georgia. Price is ten cents a pound. I planned to get the leadscrews but will leave them if someone wants the whole enchilada.
