• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

A2Z CNC X-Y mill base

I bought this about 15 years ago from A2Z CNC in Colorado. The Y axis is 18" long and the X is 19". It's a beautifully made, quality piece of gear. It has Kerk Motion zero backlash lead screws and nuts on both axes. I used it to replace the X-Y axes of my CNC Sherline mill. No hand wheels. I don't recall how much I paid but I think it was probably around $700-800 US. The closest thing that I can find today is the 18" version from Sherline and that is $1,000 US. And Sherline does not have zero backlash lead screws. I think $500 Cdn is a reasonable price.

Whatever price we can agree on, I would have you direct your payment to the Hobby Metal Workers forum as a donation to keep this site running.
