Too good offer to let it go... It has closed loop steppers (surprised me) with gearboxes. It seems to be in good condition but I am ready to give it new ballscrews and new motors with direct feed or a 2:1 belt reduction and stronger steppers (more speed). It has a toolchanger. Me likey.

Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9b5T_bUESw Too slow with the standard motors anyway, will be upgraded. :) I've spoken to another guy who is retrofitting these with Mach, it's a pretty impressive machine for the size with threading capability and such. But the controller is (non G-code) proprietary and therefore I can get it for a decent price. -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
