Mechmate #74 is for Sale
 

Hi All

My Mechmate # 74 is up for sale.

By negotiation I can provide basic orientation or training should that be required.

Basic details are ...
. table size is 2500mm x 1300mm
. VFD and 2.2kw water cooled spindle under software control
. Mach 3 software with 2010 screenset
. 2.8 Ghz dual core machine controller with 4 gig DDR3 RAM
. PMDX 122 and Ethernet Smoothstepper
. Leadshine DM856 Digital Stepper Drivers.
. 4:1 belt reductions on Motionking 34HS9801 stepper motors
. bolt together table base design

. Dust collection foot with removable magnetic brush attachment
. Full set of collects with spanners for the spindle
. High quality interconnections and control boxes.
. Some spare parts depending upon negotiations

Please PM me if you are interested and we can go from there.
The machine will go to the higher bidder with the most reasonable expectations :D

Ross

maaa....so soon ?? :eek:

You knew someone would ask......

Building a bigger/better one?

Hi Darren and Others

Maybe "different" is a better explanation but I have no concrete alternative at present.
It is simply a case of freeing up some room for my next project.
I have loved every minute of my CNC experience with the Mechmate.
Design, capacity and value wise it would be a challenge beating the MM.

I have been assisting two different people get surfboard shaping machines running, one locally and one in Canada.
I am attracted to the idea of these machines but they have significant compromises inherent in most designs.

Nothing will happen until I make some work space and do considerably more planning :)

I forgot to mention that I also have

. 17 inch touch screen monitor
. droplet lubrication and air delivery system

Will post a few pics up in the next day or so.

Ross

It's a pity Queensland is so far away from Tasmania ;)

Hi Ross,

I am shocked !! letting it go so soon. However reading between the lines I am getting a vibe you have something else in the pipeline that is going to be something special. Good luck with it whatever it is. You ever need any bits and pieces cut for the new build :p you know where I am ;)

Cheers
Tony.

Hi Tony

Thanks for the offer, you know how much I covert your wonderfully accurate coldsaw and despise my friction cutoff butchers tool :D

I have been a bit slow with the photos as a bit of a cleanup around the machine was needed. The machine itself is always clean !!
