Yes that looks very much like the machine doesn't it. I noticed the weight is 1250Kg which i would say is more realistic than 750Kg. That's not overly heavy so should move it easy enough.
Good Luck.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 10-04-2014 at 07:09 PM.

Yes it's just about what thought it would be for chinese built machine, not the best in the world but more than good enough for most small wood shops.
Nothing to add about moving the machine other than common sense lock every thing down.
Looking at the picture your machine as Hi-win rails which are decent quality so they shouldn't be wornout looking at the condition of the machine. Condition of Rack & pinion would be my main area to look at when you have it home. This will be the weak area on this machine either because of quality or poor maintenance and setup.
R&P wears very quickly if not setup correctly, often it's over tightened to eliminate backlash and this causes excess friction so wears the Rack. Or other way and not maintained and pinion is under engaged so wears tops of teeth away.!
Electronicly then can't say because it's like a box of Chocolates with Chinese machines "You never know what your going to get" but often they are one area they compromise to keep costs down.? Post pictures when you have it home and settled.
Shame your so far away Else I'd gladly come help you move it and get working.!!. . . . Thou it does like nice and Hot there so if you want to send me ticket for plane ride I may be tempted to a Bus mans holiday. .

HAhaha! You are welcome... and it was you who remembered the idea! I can also ensure you that your Busman holiday would be very well spent! Maybe you could bring your family!
We will (and we will not!!!) expect to have difficulties or problems with the machine!
Thank you again, and best regards from Sintra (Azenhas do Mar) Portugal!Last edited by shapebusters; 11-04-2014 at 05:32 PM.

You are right Jazz, our fens and cold weather cannot compete with what looks like paradise, but you will always be very wellcome if you do find yourself in the area (about 35 miles south of Lincoln) when your daughter is at university. Congratulations to your daughter for getting to university - she obviously gets her brains from her mother!!! G.
