I have loved using and learning about CNC with this machine and it has served me extremely well. I have replaced the micro switches on the Z axis. Only reason for sale is I am upgrading to a new, bigger machine. This new machine won't be here for 12 weeks so I am tentatively putting out the feelers for a sale as need this machine for work until the new one is on the horizon in a month or two. Would love it to go to someone who would be enthusiastic about it.
I have a few slight issues with the machine which I'll list below for transparency, but I am pretty sure someone experienced or more knowledgeable could fix them:
- Stalls\skips steps at mid\high feed rate at the far end of the Y axis (480mm onwards). Have had to slow down the feed\jogging feed if needing to machine here. Tried cleaning nuts and lubricating but to no avail.
- The 'feed rate over ride' switch is quite loose but still works. Will look at fixing that myself before sale as don't think it's big issue.
- In Summer or high temperatures the machine has tendency to cut out with 'device call error'. I have fixed this by putting fans in the case or opening the case door and aiming a fan at it, but it is something that someone with more knowledge may know about.
Message me or post a reply if interested. I am based in the West Midlands.
