But you didn't know that you just assumed and we all know what ASSuming leads too.!!. . . . . . . .He didn't ask for a Price he asked for Opinions on it and if it had still been up for sale you could have lost it for him.!! . . . So Ye your still getting
Shapebuster: 3K seems fair price if it's all working.
Things to look out for are just the obvious like Rusty rails, Sloppy linear bearings so grab them firmly and feel for movement, Worn teeth on Rack and Pinion, Check spindle turns freely and again grab firmly at nose and feel for movement.
Less of a concern but still worth Checking if wires are brittle or chewed by mice etc if it's been stood for some time.
Hope it works well for you.!

Thank you!
You know in Portugal its not easy to get this machines (at least bigger ones) and they are overpriced. Most of them its bought by professional machinery resellers.
It looks like a very good business. The seller has a lot of stuff he wants to get rid of, and i will be taking a pickup truck and an extra trailer to take what i might use.
If everything goes well (this weekend i will build a heavy duty pallet to load the machine, and i believe that with a trailer that is 3m long a winch, and a pallet lift i will be able to load the machine in the trailer. I will wrap it with clear plastic and hold it firmly for the 300km travel.
If all goes well i will be posting a new post with the machine!
Its great, because im building a CoWork/Makers space, and a lot of the interior furniture will be done by me in the cnc, straight from Rhino.
After with the machine in my possession, i will have new concerns: how will i be able to use Rhinocam with the CNC, do a full machine revision and maintenance, etc.Last edited by shapebusters; 09-04-2014 at 03:42 PM.

Yes that looks very much like the machine doesn't it. I noticed the weight is 1250Kg which i would say is more realistic than 750Kg. That's not overly heavy so should move it easy enough.
Good Luck.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 10-04-2014 at 07:09 PM.

Hahaha. There is no problem with the advertise publicity. Its already offline, and the phonenumber was wrong.
The deal is done. Im going to pick it up monday for 3000GBP, with a vacuum but no tool changer. Machine is said to be working like new, but the person who is selling the machine its not the owner, but someone who has all the closed company machinery and equipment for sell.
with this price i will also buy the computer and lcd, a spray painting and drying chamber, and some tools.
What should i look for in the machine regarding its possible hidden problems?
Thanks

Hi
that sounds a good price for a machine that size, i had been bidding on similar in the UK. Do you know how heavy it is.
When your moving it, make sure it does not bend under its own weight in the middle, Also, depending on its weight, you may need some machine skates. Good luck with moving it but make sure you understand the weight. And look for purpose build lifting points/connections.

Well, my idea is to join 3 pallets with 6 x 3m long wood beams, in order to make a 3m x 1,5m pallet, with fixing/anchoring points.
Then with the help of a hi-lift, slowly put the CnC over the pallet. Fix the CnC router to the pallet and wrap it with plastic film. Then with the help two pallet lifters, pull the pallet near to the trailer:
that as 3220x1760mm and can carry 2900kg.
The with the help of an electric winch assembled in the trailer, i will pull the pallet to the trailer helping with pallet lifters.
Off course Ideally i would have some machine skates (squid table) to roll the pallet into the trailer. Better, would be to have a Fork Lift Truck to place the pallet with the cnc on top of the trailer...

one or two pallet jacks will do the job. And if your dragging it on wood, onto the trailer, grease the wood. We just got a hugely heavy machine out of a small space with 2 of them
Depending on the weight of the machine, i might consider jacking it up one end, backing the trailer under it, connect and tighten your winch, take both jacks to the back end, jack it close to level, then pull it with the winch,
What do you think it weighs, i would say bewteen 750kg to 2500kg,
