Hey folks, I got this badass CNC router taking up space in my garage and my wife’s complaining that I don’t use it enough. Got anything that you need cut? Could be a control panel, odd shaped trim, personalized signage, use your imagination. I’m only asking nominal compensation for my time and tooling costs. Trade or cash OK. Must be able to provide dimensioned sketch or better yet a CAD file.

Work envelope is approx. 30” x 60” x 3”. Wood, non-ferrous metals and non-smelly plastics (no G-10 please!).

I am interested. Mostly for 18mm baltic birch / maple veneer type work.

Harry, PM me, I’m just over the hill in Castro Valley.

Sweet, which model CNC? Can you provide a bit more context then "CAD file", guessing DXF?

Work envelope is approx. 30” x 60” x 4”. Wood, non-ferrous metals and non-smelly plastics (no G-10 please!).

The machine was an industrial cabinet boring machine that became obsolete while it sat in a warehouse for 18 years..I bought it for next to nothing, gutted the electronics and installed a modern PC based control, servos and spindle.

DXF’s are best as I’m most comfortable with Cut2D, but I’m starting to fool around with Fusion 360 so anything that it can load should be good too.

Very cool!

The machine is still available for hire.

Time to launch a website and make it legit.

Same story, man! I have a mini CNC router 0404 in the garage. I decided to make a wood-made music bar in the garage. What do you think?

Nice router, looks sturdy! I just bit the bullet and upgraded to VCarve Pro, looking forward to carving some signs and doing more 3D profiles.

Just saw this thread. Very cool @dustboy. I'll be checking out your website
