I really want an X2, so I am thinking of selling my X1. What would you pay for:
Harbor Freight X1, stock travels.
CNC ready, with my own custom made CNC ready mounts. No cheesy looking mounts..these are stainless steel. The leadscrew ends are cut, and have a flexible coupler attached and ready for a nema 23 stepper.This is a 2-axis converted machine. The z-axis is stock.
The table has only 2 small endmill marks where i when about <1mm too far down when attempting to drill with an endmill. Just two tiny circles. The z-axis lockscrew handle stripped off its metal insert. The only thing needing replacement is the z-axis lock handle. $2-3?
WHat would you estimate I should try and sell this at? I havent used this much, and have only made a few test pieces.
I am thinking that the mill costs ~$259 for the mill, $20 for the SS metal stock, $40 for the couplers and shaft collars, $$$$ for the design and fabrication of the bearing blocks and motor mounts, $60 for 4 - 3/8" Solid endmill holders, Jacobs chuck, custom made ER-16 collet holder, and all the wrenches.
What would you pay for a 2-axis conveted Micro Mill like what I have? I'll have pics later in the day.
Thanks, Zachery
