    its worth doing some more research.
    these machines were made for profiling jobs not 3d. the control will be analogue.
    the big machines have too much inertia for nice 3d work and will struggle with the high code block rate required.
    also, do you realise how big this is? probably a 12ft by 6ft footprint. but 8ft by 4ft cutting area. are you sure you need a machine of this size?

    I very much doubt this machine or more specific the control system can handle 3D machining. It will be mainly geared round 2D cutting IE: Cabinets, doors etc.
    If so then your into either control software upgrade which I very much doubt exists and if it does then it will probably cost more than the machine OR a new more modern control system.! This machine will possibly use bespoke electronics that require you use a certain make of control, namely there own or modified version of someone else's.?
    I very much doubt one is available and therefore why it's for sale.?
    The other option is to do a conversion and run it from controller like Mach3 or Linux CNC but thats involved and not something I'd recommend an inexperienced user takes on.!

    Also Like the others I suspect it will be 3 phase but if not then it's still going to require a very large circuit all of it's own that your property doesn't have now.?
