I just went to see a Robland X31 and a Laguna LT16 (Meber P400?) that went in Craigslist yesterday (death sale). Both machines are 1996 I think and were purchased from Laguna — manuals etc. are included (although not too good). The wife only knows a little about it — they paid about $8K for both she thinks. They do not look like they had a lot of use. I ran the motors and they were smooth. Most parts are in a big pile — lots of little pieces also — maybe all there, maybe not. The bandsaw has a few extra blades of varying widths –Italian (CEQ 1.5 or 1.8hp) — all motors single phase 220. Surface rust on tables from sitting around garage for many years. The X31 would be a hobby in itself for me to clean, figure out to assemble, adjust etc. but might be fun?? I am about to order a MM16 and a Griz 0490X so this would be a sharp turn in another direction. I have these units reserved until tomorrow am for $2500. for both —- any comments would really be appreciated, I know there is lots of info available on the net and have started to access it. In todays market these two machines new are 9K to 10K but they aren’t new — and will take a lot of work. I am trying to decide if I should roll the dice and try them. I was not planning on getting a shaper or a mortiser so they might be things I would not use but being I don’t know where I will be going in this hobby that is difficult to say?? I just set up my shop, wired it, and am ready to get something.View Image
