Don_Kellogg · #**123** Sun 27 July 2008, 19:56

How many more orders do we need to get another shipment?

jbmclain · #**124** Sun 27 July 2008, 20:50

Don, I think we need 4 or 5 more. I'll see what I can do.

People need to remember that its easier to paint in the summer than fall or winter.

Joe

Greg J · #**125** Sun 27 July 2008, 21:37

Joe,

Are you still taking orders ?

I'm thinking about build number 2.

Don_Kellogg · #**126** Sun 27 July 2008, 23:54

Joe I'll let you know hopefully in a week or so as noted. Thanks for the information.

jbmclain · #**127** Mon 28 July 2008, 03:21

I'll take orders until I can't lift 60Lbs.

Joe

sailfl · #**128** Mon 28 July 2008, 05:43

Joe,

When you can not lift, hire some one and charge a little more. The parts are too good for you to go out of business.

jbmclain · #**129** Mon 28 July 2008, 10:12

I'm a Personal Trainer, this is no where close to my business. I figure the more I help out. The stupid questions will forgiven.

Joe

jbmclain · #**130** Tue 29 July 2008, 06:13

Well I placed another order for parts yesterday!! They should be ready in a couple of weeks OR so.
I always order a few more sets to accommodate for the people that mis out on the initial order.
If you want one of the extra sets, PM me all your info so I can figure in shipping.

Joe

My parts arrived today. Thanks Joe! To others considering, Joe was great to deal with, and the parts look very good. There are a few sharp edges (tiny burrs) to soften from the laser cuts (as in 4-5 out of 100 or so edges), so overall the quality is quite impressive. The packaging was good.

I am curious as to cost with delivery.
I'm not ready yet, still working on the spouse to get a buyin.
37015 for shipping estimates... jack at coats dot org

Is there a rough estimate on the rest of the metal cost currrently?

jbmclain · #**133** Fri 01 August 2008, 17:19

Jack, shipping to you will be $36.00.
My father in law gave me my steel for Christmas.

Someone else might have a ballpark answer for you.

Joe

hey from a person living on the west coast i was curious about the shipping cost to out here. i would like to get involved and the price looks good but i dont know if shipping will kill me. think you could give me a quote to 91741 - 1802? do you guys think it would be cheaper to find someone locally or would you imagine this being the best deal?

Thanks,
John

sailfl · #**135** Tue 05 August 2008, 17:34

John,

I purchased a set of Joe's laser parts. They are very good quality. I would suggest you check around but because Joe has them cut a number of them at one time it helps reduce the price.

He will give you a delivery price but Joe ships by UPS and so the price should not be that high.

Good luck with your build.

smreish · #**136** Tue 05 August 2008, 18:39

...kudo's to Joe. I have built now 2 machines from different suppliers. Joe's are far superior in quality than what I built with. Quality control on the parts was very impressive. Thanks Joe.

I can say that the people that I have to deal with to cut, bend, and ship these parts makes this process a breeze. So, my proper respects are to them.

I am just privileged to be part of this growing MM family.

Joe

pafnc · #**138** Sun 24 August 2008, 09:18

jeff paul in charlotte did you get your parts cut and bent ?

jbmclain · #**139** Sun 24 August 2008, 12:08

They had lightning strike one of there buildings. So, the guy I deal with has been dealing with a few broken machines and I think he is a little overwhelmed.
I hope to be getting the parts this week. I will drop by to see what is up on Monday.
I will post what I find out tomorrow.

jbmclain · #**140** Mon 25 August 2008, 09:43

Well they have cut everything except the .25 inch parts.

I figure that it will be at least September 5 before I get everything. I hope that this delay is not putting people out too much.
I will keep everyone posted.

Joe

Greg J · #**141** Mon 25 August 2008, 20:43

Joe,

Thanks for the update. Not a problem.

servant74 · #**142** Wed 27 August 2008, 20:56

Is it still $375US?

jbmclain · #**143** Thu 28 August 2008, 16:18

Jack, I have added a few additional pieces added to the kit that J.R. came up with on his machine that I thought might be beneficial to some. I think the next batch will be in the range of $450.00.
I hope it is less but I feel that its been too good for too long with out an increase. I hope I'm wrong.
I will post some pictures and price when I get them.

domino11 · #**144** Thu 28 August 2008, 19:50

Joe,
What are the additional pieces?

Art · #**145** Thu 28 August 2008, 21:44

how much for a mamba spider cut and bent?

servant74 · #**146** Fri 29 August 2008, 14:35

slightly off subject. Given that the current parts are about $400 US, roughly what does the rest of the parts cost (no spindle, motors or electronics)?
(purchasing metal new, with no scrounging abilities!)

How do the economics of a 4x8" MechMate compare to a ShopBot PR when we get close to comparing apples to apples?

Now I will go hide with my dunce cap on.

jbmclain · #**147** Fri 29 August 2008, 22:46

Heath, the added parts are from J.R.'s creative thoughts. He modified the skate a little so I added that part and four 3" discs for the feet. You can use them or not. I didn't think it would hurt to add them to the cut parts.
I will produce some picks when I get them back.

jbmclain · #**148** Fri 29 August 2008, 22:49

Will someone help me answer Jacks question. Im still throwing money at mine.

J.R. Hatcher · #**149** Sat 30 August 2008, 05:07

If I had to guess and that's exactly what I'm doing, I would say around $5,000 in the U.S. That's a 4' X 8' basic machine with a router. If you were able to shop a little, find some deals you could cut that to around $4,000.

Robert M · #**150** Sat 30 August 2008, 09:23

Art,
Hopping your having fun !
As for your quest about just getting a spider done , you’ll agree estimates varies from shop to shop & a bit more expensive if only the spider done/ordered. For what it’s worth, I got an estimate for 23.89$ as part as a complete mamba order and some.
Hope this can help, Robert
