This is a great opportunity for someone who is considering building a CNC machine.
This machine was going to be desinged to have the cue move and the cutter to simply engage and disengage (go up and down).
Tables/mounting plates are all made from 3/4" 600 series aluminum. The good stuff. It's very heavy duty and perfect for the application.
The linear rails and super pillow block bearings are made by Thomson. They're some of the best money can buy.
In total, there's approximately $3000 in materials here. Everything was bought straight from the manufacturer.
There is some additional 3/4" aluminum and 2"X2" aluminum of the same grade that comes along with what is pictured.
The black cabinet it's sitting on is included.

total weight is approximately 100lbs.

I'd like to trade this all for a small repair lathe or a nice cue/cues or simply sell it outright. I'm thinking somewhere in the $1500 range.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Let's make a deal and don't be shy with your offers. Just be reasonable. Then again, you might be surprised at my definition of reasonable :)

There are definitely ALOT of variable and specifics missing here. Without even knowing the dimensions, it would be difficult to make a sensible offer....

Ok. So what dimensions are needed? Kist ask and I can get them.

The question before this, of course I don't have the motors and controllers. If I did, I would have them listed along with this.

Look, I wasn't the one building the machine. What I do know about it, is the approximate value of the materials here and the intent for which it all was to be used. After that, I'm not sure what info to share with you all. It's kind of like the field of dreams here. If you build it (question), they (answers) will come.

I feel reasonable, would be about $1500.
I'd take $1000 + shipping. The thomson rails and bearings alone are worth nearly double that. The aluminum, Probably somewhere around another grand from what I understand.

Dimensions would be available x,y, and z travel. Diameter and length of rails. LxW of both .75 and 2.00 included.

Other questions:

1. Why was the project aborted?
2. Why are you selling it instead of the person who started the project?

The more info you can provide the better your chances will be.

I have no interest in the machine, but would like to know how you justify using Bull Durham's name? Are you related, as i am, or just a fan?

Hi,

Joe's last name is Durham and Bull Durham was his nick name or ATM Joe all over Chicago. He is a very well known A Player.

Who is the bull Durham your talking about, Andrea Dawson?

What? Save me Jebus... I just now saw what the trolls comments where pertaining to... My last name is Durham. My first name is Joe. When my name is called over the loud speaker at tournaments, people often say, "did they just say "Bull Durham"?!". Is that a good enough explaination? Or do I have to tell you why my last name is Durham too?

Ordinarily, i'd probably have a smart alec retort for ya, but i see you're a bit defensive already, and for all i know, we could be somehow related so,
i'll just give you props for the original name, and a bump for your machine.

You put me on the defensive with the "permission" comment...

Regardless of the other posts, this machine could be something pretty cool. Stay cool Joe.
