I am starting a training program for machinists in Dallas, Texas. I currently have on hand 3 manual lathes and 2 manual knee mills. I have already located one small CNC vertical mill to obtain.
Over the next 12 months, I will be looking for more smaller machines (Footprint of 48 square feet or smaller). The most likely combination of machines will be 2 manual lathes, 3 manual mills (1 of those a small horizontal), 4 CNC mills (possibly 1 of those to be horizontal), and 5 CNC lathes. I will be looking for machines from 5 to 20 years old.
These machines DO NOT need to be in perfect condition.
Budget is EXTREMELY limited. This school is being started with NO outside financing.
Companies willing to trade machines for training of current of future employees will be given first consideration.
