    1013 intelliCarve for sale for $900. Is it worth it?

    From what I've read they are very sturdy, but people have problems with the Y-axis location going off center during machining and also that the machine itself isn't compatible with most other G-code software. I have Gibbscam at work, and I'd love to be able to get my G-codes from there and transfer them to my machine. With that all being said though, they are only asking $900 with the dust collection. Does anyone have experience with this Machine? Should I pick it up for $900 or just wait till a better one comes around. My price range I was looking to spend goes up to $2,000. Thanks!

    $2000 isn't going to buy much, so $900 is probably going to be hard to beat. If you don't like the control, you can swap it out for something like UCCNC for probably less than $200.
