Default I love my wrecker!

Short synopsis:
  • bought a milling machine in OH
  • drove to OH, picked up milling machine
  • drove home
  • unloaded mill (2300 lbs) in less then 4 minutes with my M816
Best thing since sliced bread.

Andy

Nice looking wrecker and nice 1 1/2hp Bridgeport. Variable speed head, 42" table with an "X" axis power feed.

I don't own a M816, but I have moved a few Bridgeport milling machines, and know them quite well.

Good luck with the milling machine purchase and keep the pictures coming.

I guess this means it paid for itself.

"Honey, I have to move my milling machine, so I'm gonna have to buy a M816 Honey."

You get bonus points for buying a American made milling machine.
