I am selling my fully assembled 1000mm X-Carve. The unit probably has been used about 20 hours max. Everything works great except I broke off one of the limit switches. They are pretty much useless anyway, and you will find that other people agree in the forums. The reason for selling is that we thought we would use this for a side business, but with two kids under 4, we just haven’t had the time. Also included is the workbench that I built specifically for the X-Carve (see picture), although I don’t mind selling just the x-carve. I think it is a great deal on the bench though, which would save you hours rather than building your own. I am only asking cost of materials for it. Please check out the descriptions and original and asking prices below and let me know if you have any questions. Some pictures of the machine and some work we did with are posted as well. Keep in mind that shipping from Inventables was $194. Also, this unit is fully assembled, which took me about 18 hours of labor. If you are interested, I will send you my address and you can come see it operate and then take it away.

I will not sell workbench without X-Carve. No low-ball offers please. My original order for just the x-carve without the extra bit or work bench was $1,629.55 with shipping, and that was for a completely unassembled unit. You may think you want to buy a new one and assemble it yourself, but it is not fun… trust me.
Minor flaws with this unit:
-Waste board has some screw holes in it, which are barely noticeable. Plus you are going to mess it up anyway, that’s why it’s called the “Waste” board.
-Clamps have a couple of cuts in them from the bit passing over them.
-One limit switch is broken. Could be easily replaced.
