The company that bought the buildings where the business I worked for was
located, hired me to do machine automation maintenance. That company,
Provia, is going to put a new steel entry door production line in the
building where I worked formerly. My job will be to help keep that line
running, once it's built. (Mostly working with Rockwell PLC software.)
This is I think good news both for Todd, and for LinuxCNC. LinuxCNC can
teach older machinery lots of new tricks and is finally being treated as
first class stuff. It is about time it was recognized as an improvement
to the state of the art it has become..
Merry Christmas all.

Sorry to hear that all your work over the years has gone out the door
at auction, Todd, but I am interested to hear that retrofitted machines
with
LCNC controls have sold for non-pittance amounts of money. That is
reassuring to me, since I am presently retrofitting a small VMC in my
garage now, and have been a little worried about its value on the market
someday. It has an epoxy-granite frame, so doesn't even have scrap
value. Are you able to retire, or are you getting other CNC work lined up?

I still had 2 machines running 2.7 when the company closed it's doors last
month. I only had 2 machines running 2.9, a little table top router and
the 8 spindle gange router i had just finished.
The disbursement auction was yesterday and the day before. The CNCs didn't
sell particularly well. None of the big machines sold for more than about
a 10th of what their market value should have been. Average Selling price
was about $3500. Some people got some really good deals. Only the light
duty carving machines sold for close to market value, most selling for as
much, or more than the big machines. The 8 spindle machine sold for
$10,000, highest of all the CNCs. Granted it is quite different from when
it was new 20yrs ago, but the 10k is more than double what the heavy Komo
machines went for which would have cost $120k-$250k new. And those
machines can still get factory support and parts.
Over the auction went well and brought in more money than expected. Many
small ticket items were selling for more than fair market value, some for
more than new replacement cost.
The only thing I personally bought was a laser printer.
