Tell her that you can't afford it until after you buy a horizontal milling machine and a small lathe ... at very attractive prices !

Her satisfaction may take priority in this case, I have access to machines, but no working sewing machine at the moment.
Have you settled on a price tho?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I have a memory that I purchased both machines as a package for $700, 20 years ago. On the one hand, we've got inflation. On the other hand, he fact that the lead screw is disassembled and one part is bent because (cough) reasons. On the gripping hand, we friends. $600 ?

That is reasonable, I’ll gladly take it off your hands, we can work out details elsewhere. Luckily I know a guy that can either straighten or fabricate anew any bent parts.

Hardinge is in the top 3 or so. I've actually got a Schaumblin that dad picked up at a garage sale for $40 or something (!!!!!) but it has no lead screw (by design ?!?), so you use the compound for linear cuts also want to sell that some day

I’ve looked at a few old lathes, pre-standardized features, things were weird.
