Hi everyone. Decided to part ways with my router- it's just sat in my poor mothers garage taking up space for the last 6 months, and it looks a bit unloved. Unfortunately I don't have space for it really, and I use it infrequently (last used around a year ago). It was built my Dean/jazzcnc around 2014, so- believe it or not, that's about 12 years ago now. I'm located in the exquisite city of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN4, near the Doncaster Dome and Doncaster Wildlife Park.

The good:
-it's been pretty lightly used, for the first 5 years I'd estimate it was used 100 hours per year typically, and since then probably only about 10 hours a year, so I'd estimate the total usage time at around >600 hours.
-it runs fine, I've not properly used it in the last 12 months but it's been under a sheet in a water tight space
- it feels really solid, nothing notable obviously wrong or going wrong to my knowledge, Dean spent quite some time making this custom build machine for me.
-it's more compact than most, the cutting area is about 60x40cm, the machine itself is about 85 long and 60 wide. I think the Z axis has about 15cm on it, from memory.
-I'm honest and easy to deal with, I don't mind offers of getting some money up front and some after if you have it collected and are happy.
- i recall the bill going up £200 for a nicer motion controller card which uses ethernet. (the clip on the computer side of the cable has broke, but find me one that hasnt!)

The bad:
-I don't really know what I'm talking about, feel free to ask me but I've lost the original emails with details and my router knowledge is minimal.
- I had to fiddle with the VFD as I don't understand the settings at all, though it's fine (except I lost the screws for the cover somehow, even though I'm that guy that obsessively puts them in a small tub whilst working on anything). Skim read this thread please, and also the photos there are pretty good. https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/1124...mental-spindle
- the fan in the controller box doesn't spin, it doesnt really need it imo as I've never felt it get hot- I think it's a simple job of re-soldering the wires anyway if you want it on.
- although I'm honest and easy to deal with, I really DON'T want "tyre kickers". I want zero fuss for my mum or myself- my ideal is a few strong blokes come and grab it and transport it safely away to its new home. I understand there's more risk in this for the buyer, but feel free to just adjust your offer accordingly- a simple transaction with less money involved will be my preference over anything where I've got to have you round for tea whilst we figure how were going to squeeze this giant machine into your immaculate 1994 Toyota Supra with your bad back. Just because it's smaller than many machines it's still extremely heavy and cumbersome.

The ugly:
- my photography skills are terrible it turns out. If you need to ask me about any pics I've slapped a little red number towards the top left of each for reference.
- the various patches you see on the machine, especially near the buttons on the front, these are from a 2 part resin that I used to use in the vicinity, and unfortunately the occasional drip or splash has caught it and left a yellowish slightly oily mark. Some will definitely come off with wire wool, but if you've a beautiful studio like the magazines then you're going to have to put some time in to get it pretty.
