    Hi all

    Found this machine on ebay, what would your opinions be, It looks like a chinese import.

    CNC Router 3kw Spindle 1200* x 1300* x 200 Work Area- Complete! Vacuum Bed! | eBay

    The only strange thing is there are 2 machines for sale with identical descriptions but different pics.

    I was looking at this a while back. Either the guy makes them or something is putting the punters off. Mind you I have not read the description. But same old pics as when I looked also.

    Personal I like it. If I had the cash I would defiantly think about it.

    These are a standard Chinese design. You can import them cheaper.

    Plenty on AliExpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China.
    Probably best to ask on CNC zone if you're interested in getting one as there seems to be a lot of people there discussing them.

    As said above, that type of machine is readily available direct from China. Depending on spec, they start at around £1500. The one you link to on eBay is around the £2500 mark. I guess the seller has been a bit too greedy and could probably sell these like hot cakes at a more realistic £3000 - £3500.

    With a machine this size, the shipping will be to a sea port (Felixstowe normally). You have to pay duty, VAT and freight forwarder fees.

    I've considered this before as I live close to the port and have family in the transport business.

    As birchy says, people would pay £3500 for one in the UK. Fine for wood work.

    I love seeing the "factory" pictures on AliExpress.

    I have been getting some quotes for the chinese machines and have so far got the following info. all show vac table as extra.

    Exitech 1212 2,2kw spindle 1220 x 1220 ........$5300
    Omni 1212 2.2kw spindle 1200 x 1200 Rack and pinion $5150
    Omni 1212 2.2kw spindle 1200 x 1200 Ballscrew $3950
    ( I thought ballscrew was generally more expensive than R&P?)
    Jinang King Rabbit 3kw spindle, 1300 x 2500 $4500

    Vacuum tables vary in price from $500 to $1,990 depending on manufacturer and type.

    On top of this price you would have to add the following.
    shipping to nearest port (anything from $300 to $1700)
    transport from port to workshop probably $400 to $500
    Import duties depending on country
    Demmurage charges and customs clearance.
    And VAT on top of everything

    So going for the cheapest option
    $3950 router
    $500 vac table
    $300 shipping
    $400 transport from port of delivery
    Sub total $5150
    Import duty (depends on taric listing, still trying to find out) but lets guess at 20%
    $1030
    +23% vat on top of all of this $1421 dollars

    Grand total $7601
    That's approx £4,745 sterling and 5,621 Euro

    So the price on ebay doesnt look that bad.

    Sure they would sell at 3 grand like hotcakes but he wouldn`t even cover his costs.

    Even 2.5K is 3K with just the VAT added, but there is quite a few more incidentals than that to cover, too big to air freight and sea shipping becomes a whole different ball game, been talked about here before
