It’s been a struggle to come to grips with actually selling this beautiful machine, but it’s just something I gotta grit my teeth and do. My dealer said it should go for US7500 with the options it has and it’s extremely low hours.
One thing I should mention is that I made the mistake of using a Oneway faceplate early on, which had extremely poorly machined threads, which caused some damage to the spindle. The threads have been filed correctly to repair them. This has no effect on the machine now, but it is visible on close inspection and I want to be upfront about that.
Ideally someone within driving range who have shown interest will buy it as crating it would cost quite a bit of time and materials, but I do have experience shipping industrial equipment and can get the buyer multiple freight quotes as well.
We live on the Grand Forks, BC which is right in the US border about 2.5 hours north of Spokane, WA. Things have eased considerably for people coming into Canada but a pre-entry molecular test is still required as is being fully vaccinated individuals. Our understanding is that many are getting access to free tests at Walgreens and CVS, but you will need to cal the ones you want to use to book the appointment and confirm the cost. Re-entry to the US is much simpler and from a duty perspective, this machine qualifies for duty free treatment as “US goods returning without further improvements”.
For Canadian’s who might be interested, GST will be changed on the sale, and PST if sold to someone in British Columbia. These are exempt for those in the US.
I will be selling of most of my tooling separately which includes a few chucks, three piece Oneway coring tool, and an unused Jamison hollowing system.
For those in Canada, I also have a 20’ container filled with fully dried, black walnut and maple bowl blanks that has a large amount of figuring, feathers and many other beautiful features. All were sealed with Anchorseal to ensue crack free drying. Unfortunately shipping them to the US requires proof of chemical or heat treatments for pest control which I can’t provide.
