Nice! I wish I had a spare $30K - I'd buy it. I guess I'll have to live with my 45W version a while longer.....

I'm curious, Jim, may I ask why you are selling?

Cheers,

[Jim Healy]

My goal was to make inlaid wood floor medallions - I came up with a lot of designs and built about 10 prototypes, but came to the realization that getting this to market was far more costly than I could swing. So it's time for the laser to go to a good home

[Jim Healy]

I'd also like to add that I will include all the cad designs that I created for the wood floor medallions - these took 18 months to develop. In re-reading my posting, I mis-stated the purchase date. I purchased the machine in September of 2003 - not 2002.

Admin - Jim I corrected the purchase date in your post for you.

Jim, sorry to open up old wounds. Curious to know what high costs you encountered when you tried to start up your wood floor business. Surely the epilog would have been your highest cost.


What are the dimensions and weight of your epilog machine ?
What are the power ( electric ) requirements ? Would it plug into a residential outlet ?

Thanks ,

Lou

Purely, the go to market strategy. In order to sell the medallions you need to use Flooring retailers, custom home builders, high end home interior stores and decorators as your market channel. This market is spread pretty thin across the landscape - I put up a web site, and advertised where I could - basically ran out of $$$. Its a very viable business, if I were to jump back into it, I'd start local and try to build on a base. Unfortunatly; my job requires a tremendous amount of my time and cannot devote the time needed to make this successful. I also started making "wooden" clocks, I have some prototype designs completed and have done some components, but same story as above.

[Jim Healy]

I'd like to add the the 120 watt laser will only run on 220 volt - the literature says 110, but it's 220. Thanks Jeanettee for posting the specs.

[Jim Healy]

Also - it's not 3 phase, just regular household 220. You could either add a 220 outlet or tap off of a stove, dryer or A/C circuit - what's surprising, is the machine really doesn't consume a much juice - it connects to a 15 amp circuit (pretty small, compared to a stove 60 amp). When I asked Epilog why they didn't option 110, it's because you'd have to have a 30 amp circuit and a lot of panels don't support breakers that size.

[lou damore]

Thanks Jim. Sounds like a familiar problem. Good luck with the clocks.

Well Folks -

Here it is, I'm still sitting on the laser - this is a great machine, you won't find a better deal.

It must be the price, how about $26,500.

A new machine with 100 less hours would almost cost you double that.

[Bob Schubert]

Hi, Jim.

Have you found a buyer for the laser yet? I'd be interested in discussing a purchase if you still have it.

Thanks.

Bob

[Al Popowski]

I sent you an email, I am interested in the laser.

[Bill Jermyn]

I'm looking for a rotary attachment if you end up with it left over, or if the buyer wants to sell it.
