What is everyone's thoughts on buying a used machine? Found this shapeoko 4 XXL right down the road from my house and would consider buying it if it all works. What should I look out for? Does anyone have experience with this specific machine?

Hello there. Thanks for accepting me into the group. I’m just an old retired person that does cnc work as a hobby and to keep my mind active. Transplant from Tennessee to Texas. Been here 12’years.

I use my machine as a hobby. I make stuff and give it away

I’m Ryan, the founder of this group and a passionate CNC entrepreneur. I’m super excited to have you all here. This community is all about helping each other grow, learn, and create with CNC machines—whether you’re just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level. Here’s a little about me: - I’ve been working with CNC machines for 10 years, building a business and helping others do the same. - My favorite thing about CNC is turning a simple design into a product that people love. - Fun fact: I love Bourbon and Tequila, and have over 100 bottles in my collection/stash Now it’s your turn! In the comments, let us know: - Your name and where you’re from - What stage are you at in your CNC journey (just starting, hobbyist, business owner, etc.)? - What you’re most excited to create or learn with CNC - A fun fact about yourself! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what amazing projects we’ll create together!
