Thanks Neal
When I was given that price I guess exchange rate was about 60c to the dollar and haven't pursued since.

I looked at the fadel emc Ridgid tapping $2200 extra coolant pump and pan 1/2 hp $2100. single phase $1900 after a few options the price was over $40000.Plus fadel
put out the new 104d control and every one is having problems with it. Why would fadel release a new control with so many problems .I know the emc does not come with the 104d control but they had to know about the bugs in the control .That tells me to stay away .
So insted i bought a sharp mini mill it came with ridged tapping collant pump
box ways , more travel ,it weights 2000 lbs more and has a fanuc control.
Sharp inclued shipping ,rigging set up and 4 hours of training for $35000.

I got a price on a 2005 EMC a month ago from my local dealer. With the options you list above minus single phase the machine came out to $26,500 thats with the 88hs control and the EMC is available with the Fanuc 18iM the 104D the 32MP or the 88hs.

For $26000 thats way below the list price .If I was ofered that deal i would have gotten the fadel.

My closest dealer was in New Jersey, your prices may vary due to your location. I am just sharing the quote I got. The price does not include freight and rigging but it does include a day of on-site training. I have used an older 2004 EMC and I think it is a good machine for the money and compact as well. How is your Sharp Mini mill working for you? I looked at them but have never used or seen one.
