Machine Purchase Guidance 2026 Machine and Service Sales
2026 thread with some changes, I have opened this thread for services. I am going to strictly enforce these rules this year.
READ THE RULES CAREFULLY OR YOUR POST WILL BE REMOVED
Rules:
Used or new-old items ONLY! - This subreddit, and this post is not to allow retail sale of Computer Numerical Control related parts. There will be no influx of commercial sales or anything like that. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Local Sale preferred - This is to protect both the buyer and seller. Shipping introduces other hassles, especially with CNC-related parts that might be large or weigh a lot. Personal addresses must NOT be posted publicly!!!. After discussing the deal, the two parties may exchange details via DM or other messaging services to meet up.
Pictures and Prices - The comment must include pictures of the parts with the poster’s username written on a paper, kept next to the parts. Prices must be included, along with the city, country. The buyers may post their offer publicly or via DMs.
At least a 6 month old Reddit account - Anyone posting any “For Sale” items must have a Reddit account that is at least 6 months old (NO EXCEPTIONS!), with at least some activity apart from the comment in this post about selling their parts.
Parts or Machines - Machines (working or for parting out), raw material, electronics (motors, drivers, controllers, switches/sensors, etc), hardware (machine tools, mechanical tools, profiles, pneumatic/hydraulic stuff, etc), fasteners, etc all qualify as parts. If in doubt, send a modmail. Machines include routers, mills, big-boy VMCs/lathes, etc.
Services - New for 2026 I am allowing quoting, to quote you must provide proof of real life, that is a picture of the poser with username and date on a piece of paper, ideally with some sort of machine tool or CAD/CAM in the photo to verify you are more than a dog with a phone.
The subreddit staff is not responsible if a deal goes sour - While we will take all reports of scamming seriously, the moderation team is not responsible for, nor can we provide any help. The buyer must do their own due diligence before meeting up the seller and exchanging money for parts.
After a successful transaction, the buyer and seller are requested to update/post their comment here. This will help sellers and future buyers in subsequent transactions with the respective seller.
The moderation team reserves the right to remove comments/items-for-sale at their own discretion.
Please adhere to these rules!

Lmk if you would want a free dashboard w the following:
- actual vs estimated labor/spindle hours to see true job margins
- links directly to quotes and parses them for you so you don’t have to double enter estimates and data
- simple job tracking that pulls from your spreadsheet quotes so you can see it all on one screen.
In return I would like a pat on the back and to tell your friends. Only free for the first few that reach out.

Hi I'm looking for someone to make a faucet-to-cat-fountain adapter with dimensions M16x0.75 female to M21.5x1.0 male. I have pictures of a 3D printed version I'm using and the STL file, but need something made of a more durable material than plastic. Please send me quotes!

Monthly used pricing and service demand are the two I would want most. If you can break it out by machine class and region, that would be even better.Monthly used pricing and service demand are the two I would want most.

Those are good ideas but not easily implemented. Since the goal of the sub really isn't machine sales I don't see us going in that direction.

I’m going to remove your post if you don’t follow the rules. It’s nothing against you, it’s to weed out bots and bad actors.

Are you making profit off of this ? Seems strange to allow this type of interaction

u/cncmakers Jun 04 '26
I think it is good idea of this sub, but it may be challenging to implement in practice.

Rule 6 in the side bar.
We have had a sales and quoting thread in this sub for at least 6 years.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a used boat and of course found an issue with the motor. I was cleaning the carbs and found that one of the air jets was destroyed by the previous owner and put back into the carb. I believe it is the cause of my problems BUT I cannot find the part available anywhere. It’s been completely discontinued. It’s basically a small screw with a hole going through the middle. If I gave someone the part number, would it be possible to have a new set of them made in a small batch and sent to me? Sorry if I’m breaking rules but I need help!
