Re: What's a reasonable sale price for my 1100 Series 2?
My Series II 1100 is not going up for sale till I absolutely have no further use for it. I’ve had it since July 2011 and it still runs perfectly, and I’m still running the Mach III operating system.
I’ve stuck with Mach III because it functions exactly like a Fanuc 6 or a Haas control both of which I am well acquainted with.
I thought about switching to the Path Pilot OS, but I’ve read about too many things it won’t do. I have developed a procedure for tapping holes and I’ve tapped thousands of holes from 2-56 up to 1/4-20 and I haven’t broken a tap yet. Most of the parts I make require an 8-32 thread for which I use a form tap. No chips to deal with.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
