Transporting a large CNC

[gavztheouch]

When i bought my big CNC from an auction I used the company who were already there doing work to save money.

Im hoping this is how it will work out in the end, I also bought it from a large auction and there is kit bigger than mine there, the chap who orginized the sale is looking around for me to see if anyone can do the whole job of moving the machine for me.

Hi all,

In the end it was a simple case of using a forklift ethier end to load. Turns out the machine was closer to 3ton so our forklift just managed to lift it off the lorry and into place.

It took me about two days or so to get the router up and running and I am very impressed with the thermwood build, its no nonsence simple stuff, just heavy duty and well made. It uses 3.5" floppy disks for data transfer so im limited to 1.5mb per file, which for 2d profilling should be ok.

If I have a breakdown im thinking about converting it to mach 3, so I can fix it myself and not have to rely on expensive thermwood parts and service.
