eBay router

I found this machine on eBay, just to look at the pictures of it. The frame has no triangulation stiffeners and the gantry side plates look as though they would sway in the breeze.

There’s a lot of things like this on eBay waiting to catch the unwary, fortunately there are forums like this with experts ready to give advice, without this advice I would have bought that router on eBay, Thankyou all for your advice especially Dean aka Jazzcnc.

If you want a good laugh go look at his 8 x 4 and it's gantry, I've got a pair of step ladders that are stronger, much stronger..

Don't do step ladders now mate, at 23stone and with arthritis I need a solid floor :(Looking for tiny violin smiley)

I just had to go and have a look.
The VFD mount is my favourite part, followed by the control box cooling fan location

How about all the missing bolts in the rails on all the machines in the range

Lovely long gantry on this 4 x 8 machine, and such a sturdy bed. Let's hope they are designed to wobble in sync.
