How much could I sell it for

[CnC_BoY]

Hi,

I'm currently building my CNC router (just recieved all parts) and I discovered small metal milling machines and lathes and I'm more interested by that than by CNC. I just wondered for how much have you seen homemade machines sold. There's a description of my machine. How much do you think I could get for it?;

-Travel: 18*12*4 in
-Xylotex 3 axis kit with power supply, 279 oz in steppers and everything
-Porter cable laminate trimmer spindle
-The frame is a very well made 1'' MDF torsion box and it's also an enclosure
-All leadscrews are ACME 1/2 10 precision with dumpster's leadnuts
-Ajustment blocks on all shafts
-X axis table is 1'' precision aluminum shaft with black oxyde coating (from Igus) and four Igus precision machined pillow blocks ( worth 50 usd each)
-All leadnuts are attached to precision machined aluminum supports
-Y asix is two Igus shafts as the x with 2 precision double pillow blocks ( worth 100 usd each)
-Z axis support is a precision machined aluminum piece with mottor supports and the z shafts are press fitted in them
-Z axis .75 in Igus bearing press fitted in a precision machined block/tool holder
-X and Y motors support are custom machined in 6061 aluminum (very nice pieces)
-Ball bearings on all leadscrews (the screw's ends are turned)
-Flexbeam couplers on all axis (45 usd each)

-The machined was completed designed with CATIA and very well built.


Thanks a lot

By the way, If you are interested, just let me know. It would be perfect for somebody woh want to start this wonderfull hobby. You can get a nice machine. If you want to build your own frame, you would have all of the quality components and custom machined pieces in one place.

I would make a downloadable PDF with pictures for all the things listed above and layed out for people to see, and if it is a well built machine I think you could get 700.00-900.00 for a Good DIY Machine of that size.

Pics are a good way to advertise too so maybe add pics to that pdf file if u go that route.
