Yeah, it was quite the haul but I think it was worth it for what all I got and a machine that had never actually cut the first part. This is actually my second mill. My first one was a Fadal VMC15, however, I wish I had known about the Tormach then. Never would have bought the Fadal. I never could get past the learning curve (1995 system with a DOS based green screen). Also, their was no where near the community willing to help with newbie type questions. Guess they figured if you were driving a dump truck that you at least know how to drive a straight shift (chair).
Still have to get my machine all set up but unfortunately that's going to have to wait until after Shot Show in January. Way to much to get done before the show to be playing with my new "toy" as my wife has taken to calling it.
Good luck on your search. There is a guy who posted his up that is south of Asheville, NC. Pretty well used machine but I'm sure you could negotiate.
