Hi Yes I am interesting to buy one similar machine. Simple build frame. Lead screw or ball screw optional. Slade can be optional also, same as on ebay or round bar with ball bearing slide. It is hard to describe machine in general, when machine ready and have real price than is easy to talk. I want to buy one that machine and put my motors on it. I want to have bridge type and not gantry type. Let me know if you can do building.
Concerning tax write-off on new machine. Buying new machine can and will ruin small or big business. Today business may be up, slow or down for a while. How you can pay any payments to bank that loan a money at all???? In this situation even write-off will not help. In the case when machine purchased as a scrap metal for $ 2000. and retrofitted than when business slow or down nobody will demand payments from you !!!! and you have chance to establish sustainable business. Today money crunch credit crunch will make those loans for machine more and more expensive.
