Prob an ok machine if the price is right, certainly a good starting point for modifiying/improving. To me it looks like an older chinese built machine, similer anyway. It has Hiwin profile rails and possibly rack and pinion drive on the x and y.
The size is great as you can use full sheets of ply, which is great for hack spaces as a lot of people design projects around 8 by 4 sheets.
I you are looking for a guide price I would guess around £1000-2000 if it doesn't work and maybe a little more if it does. You can buy these new from china for £6000 so don't pay over the odd.
A vacuum pump may be under that black plastic which would be a bonus, but I know the chinese ones do not work very well. A good vacuum pump for this machine could set you back £1000-1500 second hand or £2500 new.
It looks like there is no tool changer but that would also be a nice bonus if it does.CNC routing and prototyping services www.cncscotland.co.uk
