I have for sale a VL-300 and Advantage extractor unit for sale. In what I would consider very good condition.
A bit of background below;
I purchased the Laser Cutter from a school that I worked at as it was closing down about 4 years ago. It was purchased new by another school in 2006 and was there for only a couple of years in use in their D&T department. That school closed down and the laser was moved to another school just down the road (where I purchased it from).
I have had it in my own workshop for about 4 years and it hasn't really been used at all since! There are few minor scratches chips to the outer and the honeycomb bed as black marks from use. (See photo's)
I have been told that it will probably need a new tube as they only last for a certain time, but it does still cut fine. One photo shows a cut done this morning (rectangle in black acrylic) with a silky smooth edge at 1.5% speed. If it is set to cut for say 30 mins the power seems to diminish (a sign of it needing a tube).
I have made a focus height tool for it, copied from another laser we had at school, but I tend to use the auto z feature when I used it. I also have the tube connecting the laser to the extractor but forgot to put it on for the photos.
The extractor runs fine, but the LED's on the front showing status do not seem to work. All fuses have been checked but unsure of problem.
I believe a new VLS-3.5 with extractor and honeycomb bed are around £12000, so I'm asking £4000 Ono for this! I have been quoted about £875 for a new tube from Denford's (may have increased since quotation however).
Item can be seen running/cutting if needed, might even be able to video it possibly!
Please reply on thread if interested or PM me on here and I will get back to you!
Photos below (hopefully!)
Cheers
