Purchase used HD3 or new HD4?
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2017 6:36 pm
First let me apologize if I posted this in the incorrect way or location.
Ok, I am so new to this CNC thing I do not even have a machine yet. I do see for sale "slightly" used HD3 Sharks for what seems to be fair prices. They come with extras like dust boot, a router, touch plate, etc which are extra $$ if I purchased a new HD4.
I see there is a promo for a free laser, after rebate, on the HD4 at Woodcraft.
My questions are as follows.
1. Should one go with an older machine, if in good condition?
2. What are the major differences between the HD3 and HD4? Asking as the answers might make it a no brain'r.
I would love to hear any thoughts, please.
Also, anyone happen to be in ND and more specifically near Minot? I would love to see one in action. I have a couple of project ideas and would love to know if I could do it on one of these machines.
Again, my apologize and thank you for your time.
Na.
