Found this when clearing the garage today!

You can see it in action here https://youtu.be/SY3mLxx7W5w

It has been in the box for the last 3 years not used. Since new, I think I only used it about 5 or 6 times to make 50 of the boxes like in the video.

I have the shipping crate for it, but it won't hold for shipping it out again. So collection only.

All the original mill handles and wheels are included and brand new.

Also included is a Brand New Super X1L Long Table, never installed.

The machine was made from high quality components. Here is the list.
1. Super X1 conversion - CNC Fusion kit
2. CNC Stepper Motor power Supply 160 -220V AC -40V DC 10A
3. 25-Pin Parallel port breakout board
4. Stepper drivers MSD542 : http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com/pdfs/msd542-microstepping-driver.pdf
5. Stepper motors FL57STH76-2808B-1 : http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com/pdfs/FL57STH76-2808B.pdf

All the electronics is nicely housed in a desktop computer case with a rear socket for the mill itself. So you only need one power supply. All the motor cables are wrapped in cable tidy, so everything looks nice and neat.

I didn't get down to installing an eStop button, but I have one, which if I can find will include it in the sale.

I used to drive this with a laptop, so the drivers are powered from the USB port but are controlled from the parallel port. This helps with the fact that the laptop parallel port is not a full 5 volt like the desktop PCs.

I used Mach3 and can give you my Mach3 configuration file to get you started.

Laptop is not included.

I have absolutely no idea what these things are worth today. So feel free to make me some offers. If there is no interest here, it will go on eBay in about 2 weeks.
