I have a very clean and lightly used Shopbot PRT Alpha 24x36.
The story behind this machine is I bought it from an Air Force Mst. Sergeant in Georgia around 2012 because he was deploying. He had bought it new with the intention of starting a small sign business producing military plaques and signage but never had time to get established.
I had a similar plan but right after I bought it, my company changed direction and I never was able to find a need for the CNC. Since I’ve owned it, it has never been used. I installed it and tinkered with designing some projects but never got around to cutting a single piece of wood.
For 3 years it sat in the corner of my shop in Spicewood, TX under a tarp in anticipation of the day I would get around to using it. Then in 2015 we sold out and relocated to the mountains of NE Washington. Of course I brought the Shopbot thinking I’d finally have a chance to learn about and use the machine. Well, it’s been 3 years and it’s still sitting in my new shop unused. I’ve decided the reality is I will likely never use that machine.
I paid $5500 for it in 2012 and have not used it but I’m willing to take a little less to see it go to someone who can put it to work. I’d like to get $4750 OBO. Please don’t low ball me but if you think I’m way off on price, shoot me a note and an offer. I’m not sure exactly what model year it is so if anyone can tell me, I’ll add the info to the listing.
Thank you,
James
