Almost 2 years ago now I geared up to buy a new CNC Router Parts (now Avid CNC) machine. My wife instead wanted an RV (which I also wanted), so the toy budget went in that direction instead.
Now I’ve been back in the market for a CNC and this time around I’m considering being a bit more adventurous and getting a used (and maybe older / stouter) machine. I’ve been watching CNCzone.com, Craigslist and the local auction sites and coming up with very very few options. Where are people looking for used CNC machines? What am I doing wrong? I expected atleast a handful of these things to come up for sale in the last 6 months or so.
One rub is that I really can only comfortably fit a 48x48 or 50x50 machine in my shop. I had big plans to fit a 48x96, but it would really push my space beyond the limit.
Where should I be looking? Has the market just been slow recently? Am I looking in the wrong places?
