And for very very little money. Go to auctions..and
its not the pros and dealers who are buying CNC Bridgeports and
similar machines..its hobby guys.


I was a "hobby guy" when I bought my first CNC mill... an old, NOT worn,
but electronically broke R2E4.

That was an epiphany for me. I had a full-up commercial/industrial
machine, WORKING (after a few tens of hours of troubleshooting) for under
$3000. That cost included the purchase price, the transport 120 miles to
my shop, the wrecker to boom it off the trailer, and the repairs.

I think I spent more on original paper manuals and tooling than I did on
the machine itself. And it's a 'keeper', especially since the lightning
hit that required a retrofit to CentroidCNC. It's now faster, more
accurate, and reliable!
