You are asking a lot of money for an old machine and from the look of it,not in the best condition.

This machine was bought to be used not to look nice, also with the intension to upgrade to Mach 3 if you would like to make an offer I would gladly consider this.

Value is proportional to what someone believes its worth. I was going to post some feedback on the price but someone beat me to it.

If something doesnt look like its been cared for, then there will be questions about how the item has been used (and/or abused).

So taking a £2500 risk hoping for the best is crazy.

Plus, let's put some things into perspective. These Denfords make nice DIY machines however, yours has the 6 ATC instead of the 8 ATC, has the top flood coolant instead of the full tank coolant and looks as scruffy and abused as hell. It will need a fair bit of work, likely a retrofit and this all adds up.

Sorry but this is not a £2500 machine. If you disagree, no problem. Probably explains the lack of interest.

For reference, mine was bought for similar money and was in a lot better condition. I needed to retrofit it but it was worth it as the machine was clean and had only seen light use.

Entirely up to you. It might be worth considering to break it. If you did, Id be interested in some parts for my new mill.

How does the Triac compare with the Easimill 3?

I watched a few vids on utoob to see if I could help but no easy way for me to compare (as a Triac owner), sorry, hence the BB board which has stats / specs etc.

Thank you for your opinion I really appreciate this I must say however the machine has not been used and abused and you are quite correct about the ATC being a six but was not instead of eight this is how it was bought.
If anyone would like to make sensible offers they will be considered the machine will not be broken up and it was always going to have a retrofit so if anyone would like a Denford miller this is an ideal project for the winter.
