Hey guys,
Around eighteen months ago I invested some serious money in an engineer to design and build a professional CNC router. I used this guy as he designs, builds and maintains machines for many factories in the area as well as interstate and I was very impressed with the machines I had seen and the owners gave raving reviews. I told him I wanted a rock solid machine that I'll never have to upgrade and will not have to worry about things breaking on me. He built this thing tough, thick steel gantry which is braced, solid as a rock steel frame. It's a monster.
It also features a automatic tool changer (after using this machine I'd never want to own one without a tool changer, the tool changer upgrade alone cost me over 18k), T-slot table (another 3k upgrade) and all sorts of other upgrades like rack and pinion X&Y movement, remote control, water cooled variable speed 24000rpm spindle, Ethernet controller upgrade, brand new computer full of CAD, CAM and controller software. it's a long list of features, built for the purpose of woodwork/guitar building but definitely not limited to. The machine takes up roughly one car bay, total length 2.4 meters and has double the height of the gantry on the 100k+ multicam machine it was inspired by, which makes it quite versatile. It's a very solid and impressive machine, also has an air compressor and dust extractor, a row of ER25 tool holders, an array of collets and variety of cutting bits etc.
The machine has only just been delivered around xmas time however over the "wait" period of the build the direction of the business looks like it may be changing and "might" no longer be needing a CNC, so it is possible the machine may be for sale if I find a serious buyer. I'd prefer not to sell, but our other business is the priority in my life. The Machine is "as new" but I've played around with it a bit (who wouldn't having such a great toy in their workspace?) To give an idea how new the machine is the builder hasn't even put his logo on it yet, he still has to come back for the finishing touches, which will all be complete before you collect it. It is fully operational however and it blows me away, it's awesome and I'm so glad that I went with the approach I did rather than buying a cheap piece of crap from China. Heard way too many horror stories.
Anyway, I'm writing this post as I don't think ebay is the sort of place to list this machine and I'd like to avoid time wasters and tire kickers that come with such a site as ebay (have had too many times wasters selling cars on there), the machine is perfect for anyone who builds guitars, I know I'm going to take a massive loss, but if I can walk away with at least 40k I'd feel semi comfortable and you'd be getting a bargain. I'm also willing to spend some time with any potential purchaser to get them started on the basics of CAD, CAM and the machine operation, which is also something you will not get buying from China and having someone to show you how to operate is an investment on its own. I'm so glad I paid extra for training and anyone who has bought a CNC will tell you that is a very wise move.
I won't bother to list a massive page of specs, if you're a serious buyer you'll get in contact and I can offer detailed information and photos etc. I will finish off by saying that if you're serious about woodwork, this thing is a dream machine.
