Thoughts on this package deal

Great! Thanks for asking. The machine and accessories were like new. One small ding on the table, far far left of the table. Many of the cutters have not even been used. Ended up at $2400. Followed me home in the trailer no problem. Couple ladders, a plank and two come alongs and it’s in the floor in my shop. Next week onto the stand. We’ll see from there. It’s a solid chunk of machine.

you said you had a fix for moving head and keeping it close. I’d be interested in the details if you have a chance.
Have a look here Tom

Thanks for the link! A novel approach. More elegant (I think) than the sliding rod approach you see everywhere. And a nice cost.

I’m very happy with how well it works.
I don’t hesitate to raise or lower the head now.
