Buying a kit from 2018

No Judgement

I was going through the swap meet section and found a kit from 2018. It has never been used. Is there anything I need to know.

you’ll need to buy $100 worth of wood and $150 for a router

the original maslow kits really can’t cut a 4x8 sheet more like 3.5x6 with decent accuracy
z axis is slow and needs to be lubed with graphite or moly
bungee needs to be replaced with counter weights
the kits sell new for $400 with a better motor control board, old kits would obviously be less.

sorry I should of been clearer. the latest kits have all the same issues. two vendors use the new control board, one still uses the old board.

I purchased the new 1.4 with z axis. It’s 399.00. It got here so quick it made amazon look like they are late. In case it did not make sense, they got here super fast. Also just cut my sled and it went smooth.
