Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
I have this in excellent original condition in the original oak box and would like to know what a fair price is for it. Thanks for any info.

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
I have no idea, but I sold my Quick Way boring bar a year ago for $400. It was complete with tooling, instruction book, etc.

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
Show photos so we can see exactly what you have. I’m a krw junkie albeit I don’t have it use the KRW combination machine I pretty much have all the other tools that were produced and have never seen one of the combination machine boring units in a wooden box .

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
I would add 100-200. to Jims sale, because it is KR.

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
Geez Ronn, I dunno if that is how I would value the two, but maybe that is real-world.
I have posted a picture of the KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment (-that I took directly from my KR Wilson Book) and a picture of my Kwik-Way FR Boring Bar. From my experiences, it is extremely tough to buy any working F-series Boring Bar for under $2,500. If Jim sold his for $400 with tooling, someone got the deal of the century, -and those deals are very rare. For me personally, I would have liked to own Jim's machine just because of the provenance & history of who owned it. So to comment on Chuck's unit, I know the Cylinder Boring attachments can be manually powered and can be driven using the Combination Machine. IMO, the KRW attachment can likely still do the job however from my vantage point, the usefulness in anything other than a hobby shop doing demonstration work is about it. Although we cannot see Chuck's unit, I would think that to the right collector depending on condition, the unit should be valued in the $200-$500 range. Again, I think this boils down to the value a buyer feels it is worth to themself. . . |

Brent I have items worth say 10k, but the reality and mkt dictate differently. why I said what I said. I wouldnt pay 100. for the tool, because I dont do that kind of work and it would just take up space in my garage- of which I dont have. I think collectors value is what that tool is worth. so how many on the Barn, are going to ever use that tool, let alone buy one? I dont have the answer, but Ild say slim.......... |

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment

Re: Value Of KR Wilson Cylinder Boring Attachment
This unit is a lot more complicated than what Brent has shown for the hand operated one. It may be for T's as well. I have failed at posting photos on this site but can send some if you send me your email address.
