A machine tool source you can check out
“I purchased a used CNC lathe from Tom and his team. They were super helpful through the entire process from sending pictures and videos of the machine running to helping set up rigging and shipping. I would absolutely purchase through them again. I would recommend them for anyone looking for professional no BS used equipment sales.”
