Chinese 6040 CNC Router Advise Needed

[Jonathan]

It was a Serious offer

I know. I expect you've made a similar offer to the Bob who started this thread.

I wasn't trying to prove anything.

So you weren't offering to make it to prove that it can be done for that price?

The machine you built While being a nice strong thing built with care and thought and a credit to you, I wouldn't exactly say it pushes boundaries either.?

I have neither claimed that it pushes any boundaries, or intend to make that claim.

Also you say 2K material costs which I don't disbelieve for minute but what your not saying is the hours of work that's needed to machine and Assemble it.

Obviously. The point I was making is that for someone who has got sufficient free time, they can make a machine worth owning within a £2k budget.

Add this to the Mix and you'd probably need another 2K to make it worth your while.?

I didn't charge anywhere near that, but those were special circumstances so your point is valid.

Nope not at all I was offering has a gesture to someone I consider a friend and would probably do the same for me if reversed.?? . . . .Actually knowing that Old bastard he probably wouldn't but hey oh it's what I do and offer that counts to me.!

I have neither claimed that it pushes any boundaries, or intend to make that claim.

That's ok then.!! . . Has we have been playing nice lately and I wouldn't want to break the peace beating your pride and Joy up .. Lol

It's more than Free time Thou isn't it.? There's the machinery and the experience to factor into the equation and not every one as these to fall upon.
But I agree it's very do-able and should seriously considered if they have the skills and tools, every thing they need to know is here.!!

I didn't charge anywhere near that, but those were special circumstances so your point is valid.

Yep I know you didn't and wasn't for one minute suggesting you did. I also know and appreciate just how much time and thought went into that machine and putting a price on that would be hard and expensive.!
