What Denford mills are available as second user machines and what are the advantages and disadvantages of any particular model?

If you are interested I have a very clean Denford Starmill complete with machine cabinet and the original control electronics box
It has been converted to Mach3 and will include the mach3 config files
It can include a PC and monitor at extra cost

It is an R8 spindle, and there are a very cheap chinese R8 tool holders on ebay, I have used R25 collects and found them to be perfect
The machine is set up with tool probing which makes for easy work setup.

It will equally run on Linuxcnc, which to be honest is what I have desided to standadise on.
I've used it to machine dural, brass and steel with no problems at all. Its a small but well build and strong machine
I don't think the machine as done much, spent 20 years in a school and don't think they had a clue how to use it so it was an orniment in the schools 'resistant materials workshop'

PM me if you want more details, I'm in Lancashire nr Blackpool
The machine is roughly a 740mm cube and will transport in a van or estate car or even a large hatch back. Its heavy though so needs a 3 or 4 strong men to lift it


Cheers,
