Keetona as well, have used that model before and was a good machine, someone could get a bargain there unless it goes crazy in the last few minutes.

What is that likely to weigh ?

 

[cumbriasteve]

No idea but do know a company that at the time ignored safety and two apprentices can move one the length of a 30 metre workshop.

I should think a couple of guys, some timber, short lengths of scaffold tube or similar and a bit of forward planning and you could get it in a van or on a trailer without too much hassle.

went for £123 too far from me but I'd have had a punt on it for that sort of money if I'd been closer.

Just out of curiosity what are the semi cylindrical recess in the bed and the cut-outs under the knife for ?

 

[Welderpaul]

The recess in the bed is so you can grab hold of the edge of the sheet to set the cut if it is narrower than the width of the bed. Not sure what the others are close to the blade.
