SOLD Simington 451c

[Michpatriot]

Selling my 451..$1000.00+ actual shipping. The cover plate under the wheel has buggered screws. I never ran with it on anyways.. the cover will be shipped too. Very little use on this grinder, maybe 50 chains?.It cuts a sweet tooth and all the axis angles are spot on and it gives a very even corner left to right.. while keeping the top plate angle the same also..this took a bit of effort to setup perfect like this, but now its a peach!..too bad the factory does not offer a tuned package. It comes with the wall mount pictured. Got a bum shoulder and my cutting days are coming to a close..really never thought I'd sell this.
More pics by text and we can talk if you want.
Just pm me for starters..if your local you can come by and try it out.

What is the issue. UPS is very reasonable Michigan to the PNW.

Yes Pirate Ship is the way to go. I sent a saw out last week with them one Monday with them and if the guy pays me tonight one Wednesday. I use them for all my shipping including overseas

Pm’ed

Hmmm. I only live about 75 miles away in Lansing. It's very tempting, but, if David Wyby wants it I won't make a bid. He's a stand up guy & would really put it to good use.

Shipping was $70 ;-)

Is this your first square grinder??

Wonder how these compare to others I know every has their favorite brand..

 

[Bill G]

Well there are only two really (outside Ziegelmeyer)and the Simington and Silvey swing arms are supposed to be just about equal.

That's pretty good .

From your side of the lake it is, not as much from here. It's also pretty reasonable to ship to your area or Wisconsin, but when I ship into parts of Indiana or Illinois that are south of the lake but about the same distance as the seagull flies, it's oddly more .

The key on shipping is playing their damn dimensional weight and actual weight game. Things need to go in the smallest possible box THAT allows for proper packing. No one should ever skimp on proper packing just to get it in a box. I used to get pissed off at some of the European guys in trades. They would literally disassemble the entire freaking saw to get it in a small box. I built wooden crates out of OSB and fire treated lumber to send saws to them. A 4ft x2ftx 2ft crate works well but those days are over. They have picked the USA clean of saws

I once had a guy ship me a turbo for my military truck in a flimsy box with no packing. The box barely made it.

Sometimes they do it to to able to call it 'parts' for customs reasons...
