Greetings programs, you are bidding on a used 4 axis CNC router along with it's accessories. I built & designed this good working machine out of 8020 extrusions & 6061 aluminum. Everything is around 11 months young. All images were taken within the past week. All videos were taken within the past month. Table Footprint: 53" wide, 54" long, 43" high T-Slot Table Top Dimension: 40.5" x 48" Axis Travels: Y 38.5", X 36", Z 8.5" Direct drive ballscrews & Hiwin linear guides on the X,Y,Z axis. Machine weight is ~350 lbs. (Wooden sub table is not included, nor calculated in the dimensions) *The acrylic barriers are for dust containment. The front & back barriers can easily be adjusted to&fro & fastened down. *The acrylic barriers can also be positioned sideways for closer containment or storage to the side of the table. *The 2.95 hp (2.2kw) spindle is air cooled. Mach3 & the VFD are set to run 6,000 rpm to 24,000 rpm. * 13 ER20 collets (the one that came with the spindle as well). 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 13/32, 7/16, 1/2, and 10-9mm. Some have never been used. I've used only carbide bits with no flats on them (no bits are included). * 1 Laser edge finder along with it's adjustment wrench, alignment card, adapter, and manual. It displays an adjustable red dot, and is a judgement based edge finder by jogging. I use it mostly to make sure the stock is aligned with the spindle/axis. It does not interact with the machine. It fits into the spindle with the 1/4" collet. You can also use this laser on the drill press. *12ft long cable with alligator clips for use as a zeroing plate or edge finder. As in the videos, I use a 1/16" angle iron (not included). Using a caliper, I measured the actual thickness to be 0.060", and set this value as the plate offset data on the Mach3 main screen. Do change the value for the thickness of the piece you use. Always tap the leads together to make sure there's an indication on Mach3 before using. It connects to the box via a DB9 connector, and there are available slots on the connector for you to add a touch probe, home switches, limit switches, or similar devices. This is an optional tool, you do not need to connect it. *Xbox 360 controller with driver CD. I use the controller to Start, Stop, & jog all 4 axis. With this addon, I almost never use the keyboard jog keys, nor the e-stop switch on the electronic box. Windows XP usually needs the CD drivers, though when I used it on Windows 8.1 & 10, it installed automatically. *Here is my controller button arrangement. When I send you the Mach3 XML file & Xbox controller plugin, it may still have the same button assignments that I used. You can change the button assignments in the Mach3 plugin for the controller at any time. *The wooden monstrosity you see before you is the flux capacitor that makes machine time travel possible. The red button switches on the VFD (these VFD's normally take a few seconds to turn on & off when the switch is thrown). The green button turns on the surge protector, which powers everything else in the box. This machine uses a Gecko G540 drive system. The G540 talks to Mach3 via the Ethernet Smooth Stepper board, which means you can connect to any computer with a ethernet cable. A relay in the box, switches on the spindle. Upon initial setup, probably the only thing you'll have to do inside the box is make sure everything is still connected after transport and plug in your ethernet cable to the ESS board. *Connections on the back of the box are the spindle cable, motor cables to the G540, DB9 connector for the gator clips, 120V plug (included), and 240v plug (included). The surge protector in the box is rated at 15 amps, and the 240V VFD draws around 11 amps, so a 20 amp breaker for each should be safe. *The included 120v and 240v plugs *The VFD is all wired up & PD-coded to be controlled by an external controller (Mach3). Mach3 starts, stops, and commands the spindle speed. Note, The VFD is usually some hundred rpm lower than what Mach3 says. Some wizardry in the VFD PD-codes or some setting in Mach3 may tweak this, but it's never been a big deal as it's hardly noticeable. Mach3 just commands the start, stop, & speed, it does not know exactly what the VFD readout is, nor if the spindle is actually running. The VFD manual is included. *The 4th axis has a 6:1 ratio, with a 4 jaw self-centering chuck. I made mounting plates to fit the 8020 t-slot table with 1/4-20" SHCS screws & 8020 t-nuts. *The wheel on the tailstock stretches the nose out nearly 2 inches. *I designed the 1/4" mounting holes so that the 4th axis can be oriented on the X or Y axis. *The 4th axis accessories include the chuck key & another set of jaws for wider diameter stock. All of the jaws fit only one way (you can't turn them around), and they're all numbered. *Massive 58 piece clamping kit. Everything is useful minus the (6) 3/8 t-nuts which are for, yes, 3/8 t-slots which does not fit on 8020. I use 8020 t-nuts (included below in the ad) with the studs & flange nuts. So the kit includes 24 studs (four studs each: 3", 4", 5", 6", 7", and 8" long), 6 step block pairs, 6 flange nuts, 4 coupling nuts, and 6 end hold-downs. *8020 extras: (4) flanged button socket cap screws, (8) 1/4"-20 t-nuts, and (14) 5/16"-18 t-nuts. *A pair of 1-2-3 setup blocks that work with 5/16-18" screws. Many uses! *3" vise with allen wrench, and a set of unused parallels. The vise can be secured to the table using the clamping set's hold-downs in the vise's grooves on all 4 sides. *5 speed Central Machinery Bench Drill Press, with chuck key & manual. Works good. Needs a new light bulb.

In short, this sale is for the above hardware only. You will need Newfangled Solutions's Mach3 controller software (machsupport.com) to get the machine moving. Mach3 is free for download, however, you'll need to purchase a license ($175) to remove the g-code limit restriction. I will email the winner the Mach XML file for this machine which contains all the motor tuning parameters & other settings just as I used it. It is not a license file. You do not need the machine present to test out Mach3. You'll need to setup your computer/ethernet to communicate with Warp9 Tech Design's Ethernet Smooth Stepper board. Be sure to read the documentation on their warp9td.com website, and look around for their System Configuration Utility. You'll need a computer with an ethernet card & cable (I use a laptop). You shouldn't need to make any changes to the electronics hardware in the box, so this purchase is almost plug-n-play. The machine has no limit, nor home switches... I've never needed them. Congratulations on making it this far down the page! Shipping: This machine is as is, where is in Dudley, Georgia. The winner will be responsible for arranging shipment/transport. You can find transporters on uship.com if you can't pick it up yourself. This machine weighs about 350 lbs with a footprint of 53" wide, 54" long, 43" high Happy bidding!
