Velox VR-2525 CNC Router $4800

Details

Very little time on this unit. Would be good for many uses. Can cut wood, UHMW, thin aluminum, etc. Uses: Souvenir manufacturing, awards and recognition, high production of repetitive use items, etc. Could mount a laser, engraver, pick and place tool, even plasma if you protect the slides and lead screws. Travel of 24”x24” or a bit more (factory says 28") Aluminum extruded T-Slot table top with new 3/4" spoil board. Water cooled 220V 24000 RPM 2.2KW Spindle with VFD control Home switches on all axis Nema-23 400oz/in stepper motors. One on X axis, two on Y-Axis and one on Z-axis All of the electronics are in one case. Cable management on all axis Includes Lots of stuff: Two Computers and one screen. 1. Wyse thin client with Win95, Win98 and extra software. Routes via DOS based CNC control software. It is easy to run and understand, looks like older AutoCAD and I prefer this approach. Routing is easy but 3D engraving requires extra attention by the operator and I believe the choice below would be easier to master 3D carving. 2. HP Laptop with Win8. Includes unlicensed Mach 3 software that runs to the router electronics via an Ethernet cable to control the router. This uses a 4-Axis Smooth Step Ethernet control box which really runs the axis smoothly. The purchase of the recommended software could run into 500 dollars. This is a standard method often used and has lots of features. Remote pendent for axis control. Assortment of router bits both 1/4 and 1/2 inch. Lots of collet sizes and extra nuts. All ER20 size Hold down tools and accessories required to work. Mounted on a solid table with roller wheels. Dust collector attachment with hose set for a shop vac. A very nice and solid machine that requires room in the shop, 3 strong people to safely transport to its location and patience to read and learn how to operate the machine. Then the fun begins.
