Looking to sell also need to know how much it's worth.
I'm looking to sell my CompuCarve because I really just don't have time for it. I puchased it in 2010 second hand from a guy off CL. He said he never had it setup and running. I actually believe him. He purchased it at the St. Louis Woodworking Show. I'm going to assume that was also in 2010. It was a refurb unit. I spoke with one of the guys that worked at the booth and he told me everything was legit so I purchased it for $800. Not long after I purchased it, I upgraded to the Carvetight Chuck. My intention for the unit was to make templates for my profile grinder. (molding templates) It's a side business of mine, and I couldn't afford a specially designed cnc. It worked pretty good. I also just played with it because it's a pretty cool machine. Well, later that year, I ended up getting an actual cnc template maker. Since then, I haven't used the CompuCarve. They are such neat machines but I just don't have time for it. I know that was long winded, but I wanted you to know why I am selling.
So here's the machine specs:
Model # 113.217540

Homemade dust collection

Memory card reader(for computer)
As far as the dust collection goes, I made my own out of sheetmetal. It works pretty good, but I have a pretty strong dust collector that it hooks too. I'm not to sure it would work as good hooked to a vacuum. It has a 4" port. If youre going to use a vacuum, you may have to buy one, I dont know. I had to cut a slot out of the top cover for it to work.
You can tell by the low hours it hasn't been used much. Everything works great and I have some videos of it in action so you would know it works. (would have to send them to you by phone)
I think it's everything someone would need to get started. I never purchased any software and the designer software is free.
So, I need to know what it's worth. And, is anyone interested. I would rather sell it to someone here than on CL. I just feel if I sold it on CL, I would have to explain every detail of the machine. I would think if you found it on this forum, you would know what you're looking for. I still have the box. And, I expect the purchaser to pay shipping, however, I only expect what UPS charges me. I'm not looking to make any money off shipping.
I will be adding pictures soon. I'm having camera issues.
Thanks for looking,
Lucas
BTW, I'm near Cape Girardeau Mo if you would live close by and like to avoid shipping.
