    Well as promised, here i am sharing the adventure on buying the Cnc .
    Unlike what I had been told by the brother of the seller, the machine was in a basement , with 4 steps of depth and a very small door.
    The good part was that the machine had little things that could be pointed to the seller, so that it lowered the price even more. Since he was not in Portugal (it's in Brazil ) i sended him by email the photos, showing that when the machine was storaged there, someone bented the frame of the machine. (Dont worry, using a digital level i checked the geometry of the machine , and everything was spotless!)

    These findings allowed me to negotiate the machine for 1.750 GBP, and still bring a tool cart and some extra things. Brought the computer machine , manuals, cds , and more one thing or another.
    I found the invoice and the machine was sold by a Spanish company in October 2007 , as shown in the plate that has the back .
    After solved the transportation problem and how to make / pull the machine from the basement to the trailer, we brought it to its new home!
    One of the first things i did was to remove the bented parts and straighten them.
    Then I cleaned and lubricated the entire machine, checking tightness of bolts.

    For tomorrow i will try to make it move and cut something. But i am very positive, because when dismantling some parts for the cleaning i found very little dirt and wood particles. The machine was used but very little time.
    The Photographs of the controller unit, and command - rznc 0501 are missing, but inside there is a unit similar to this one,Click image for larger version.

    I have some questions , especially regarding the 3kw spindle. Should i install new plastic tubes? In the picture you can see they are not clean, is it supposed to be?
    Does anyone have a manual? Where am i supposed to connect the two plastic tubes?
    I would like to hear your opinions about the machine, bring it on!
    What would you improve/upgraded?

    Best regards from Portugal!
