I will upload pictures shortly.

I am selling my Busy Bee B1977 Milling Machine, stand, and accessories for the best offer. The machine is a solid and powerful 1.5HP round-column Rong Fu 31 milling machine clone with a very large workspace. It comes with a stand and weighs in at 300kgs (660 lbs). It is wired for 230V, but can be rewired for 115V.

I'm afraid I don't have an entire compliment of tools to offer, but I am including a complete R8 collet set, drill chuck key, facing mill, a wiggler for edge finding, a 3/4" slitting arbor, and a 6" rotary table that has a few missing teeth on the worm gear but otherwise functions perfectly for the remaining 350 degrees (hey, it's better than NOT having a rotary table at all, isn't it?) You'll need an end mill set (about $50 ~ $90 from Busy Bee, MSC, etc.) to start doing some work.

Also included but not shown is one UGLY table vise and a mostly complete clamping kit. I strongly urge you to buy a better vice.

The mill was manufactured in 1996, and I think I bought it around '98 or so brand new from Busy Bee. I have *not* put a lot of hours on this machine, so as you may be able to tell upon inspection, the spindle bearings are in great shape. Outside, the machine has accumulated dirt and goo over the years, but with considerable elbow (de)grease(r), it should come out looking nice and pretty again. You'll see it's in good shape when and if you decide to come see it. Please see the photographs provided.
