Looking for Loft and Lie Machine Recommendations

[ZachOly]

I'm looking for a loft & lie bending machine for just irons and wedges. This would just be for personal use so I don't need (or can afford) tour-truck level accuracy.

Budget wise...would $500 get me something half-way acceptable?

Ideally from a Canadian retailer who can ship (I'm in NL). Obviously buying a loft and lie machine might not be the most economical solution, but there's no one local who can do this.

Get a good used one over an entry level new one.
Get a used one with lots of life left then add a magnetic $25 digital angle finder to read loft to 0.1* increments.
Look for a clubmaker who is looking to retire. Might sell cheap.
Bend a few sets for several guys at work to recoup your investment.

If you're on a budget check this ad out https://www.kijiji.ca/v-golf/st-john...ubs/1650916220 You'd have to ask him if he also has a bending bar for sale.

Thanks everyone. Ended up buying it from that seller for $75 with the bending bar. Can't believe I found one locally!

I owe some people a beer if you're ever in St. Johns!

Nice grab thanks to Tintin. Did you also get the SWt scale?

I once chatted with a clubmaker in the USA who was retiring. He gave me his GS digital frequency analyzer and mine was acting up. I said anything else? He said he had a shaft dimpler which he had set out for garbage pickup in the morning. I was looking for one for 10 years (the good one was discontinued), as I wanted one of the more commercial units and not the el-cheapo ones with the jaws on the end of a set of Vice Grips. It just cost me shipping.
