Denford PCB Engraving Machine - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi,

This Denford PCB Engraving machine is virtually unused. It comes with some new Kyocera bits and spare collets, along with manual / paperwork. It has one or two cosmetic scuffs from where it's been in storage, but to my knowledge, it's never been used in anger (a couple of test PCBs were attempted with it, but that's as far as I got). I would imagine that it should be easy to modify for other engraving duties, assuming that the feed rate is adjusted accordingly.

Last time I checked, it was £3,000. I will take £300 (thus taking a massive loss on it, but such is the way with tools). It's very heavy and currently resides in N London. I can put you in touch with a specialist mover. I would imagine he'll charge around £100 to move it to another part of the country, and will likely take 1-2 weeks over doing so.

Please drop me a PM if you are interested!

That's a shame, DOS or Windows only.
Looked all over for Linux/MAC software but alas, non available.

Could be interested - how big is this/does it require any special transport?

There is a fellow who's moved CRT-based scopes around for me, and he ought to be able to move it to just about anywhere for ~£100. I can give prospective buyers his number.

Is currently advertised new @ £5,100 exc. VAT: https://www.tilgear.info/machines-an...c-pcb-engraver
