    Never mind thumbs down ! I knew it had gone, the link from there was dead, it was to give some idea of price, if you read the text in the ad it was part of a job lot.

    But you didn't know that you just assumed and we all know what ASSuming leads too.!!. . . . . . . .He didn't ask for a Price he asked for Opinions on it and if it had still been up for sale you could have lost it for him.!! . . . So Ye your still getting

    Shapebuster: 3K seems fair price if it's all working.
    Things to look out for are just the obvious like Rusty rails, Sloppy linear bearings so grab them firmly and feel for movement, Worn teeth on Rack and Pinion, Check spindle turns freely and again grab firmly at nose and feel for movement.
    Less of a concern but still worth Checking if wires are brittle or chewed by mice etc if it's been stood for some time.

    Hope it works well for you.!

    Thank you!
    You know in Portugal its not easy to get this machines (at least bigger ones) and they are overpriced. Most of them its bought by professional machinery resellers.
    It looks like a very good business. The seller has a lot of stuff he wants to get rid of, and i will be taking a pickup truck and an extra trailer to take what i might use.
    If everything goes well (this weekend i will build a heavy duty pallet to load the machine, and i believe that with a trailer that is 3m long a winch, and a pallet lift i will be able to load the machine in the trailer. I will wrap it with clear plastic and hold it firmly for the 300km travel.
    If all goes well i will be posting a new post with the machine!
    Its great, because im building a CoWork/Makers space, and a lot of the interior furniture will be done by me in the cnc, straight from Rhino.
    After with the machine in my possession, i will have new concerns: how will i be able to use Rhinocam with the CNC, do a full machine revision and maintenance, etc.

    1. I did not assume, I followed the links and the original advert had clearly gone
    2. I am not an ASS and I don't need silly little sayings posted to that effect
    3. Price usually forms part of the opinion making process, it does in my world.
