Hey guys,

I am looking for an older vmc that has good mechanicals and a dead controler (read low cost). Where would i start looking for a machine like this in the northeast?

Thanks.

Auctions, Big factories, Machine shop closeups.

What is the intended use? Maybe an older knee mill would suffice. Its really hard to suggest where to find something without knowing your intent.

How much is "low cost"?
What work envelope do you need?
What material will you be machining?
Etc.
