Very nice. Got all that for $500? not shabby at all

[guitar freak]

Yeah, I got it for $500. I bought it from a guy who does craft shows out in Richmond, VA. He blew a bunch of IC's on the circuit board (it was a HobbyCNC board) and just gave up on it. It was sitting outside under a tarp when I came over to look at it, which explained why there was so much corrosion on the rails and whatnot. After I got it home, I looked at the card and decided that it was beyond economical repair so I just got new controlling hardware from Probotix. After I mounted everything in the enclosure box, I did some optests on it and everything checked out okay. I was just tired of it looking so beat up. All in all, I would say that I've got about $800 tied up in this CNC router right now, excluding the computer which I got for $125 at a flea market here in Norfolk.
