DVD drive, Win 8 Machine History: I am retired and the second owner. The machine has been used at most 15-20 hrs in the last few years so I can't really justify keeping it. The original owner was a retired school teacher doing part-time prototyping and short run orders out of his garage. He switched to a cnc milling machine with more robust hold-down as most of his requests were for high precision aluminum items. It runs very well. For Canadian Buyers: Thanks to our low "petrol dollar" exchange rate, the current Canadian "all-in" replacement cost for a new equivalent package including accessories is $45,584 CAD. This includes a 4-bank avg. exchange rate @ 1.346 and avg. 2.5% bank processing fees, North Carolina to Ontario shipping, 13% HST and estim. brokerage fees. It was initially listed here on the TalkShopbot forum and on Kijiji for $27,500 CAD. The reduced $22,750 CAD selling price is almost 1/2 the cost of replacing this setup with a new, same model, same capability setup. A verifiable, full breakdown incl. all additional accessories can be provided by email as the PDF file won't post here.
