We talk and ask questions about CNC programs and machines, this may not be the right spot to place this photo. Thought some of you may like to see what our CNC machine looks like today.
We bought machine and computer equipment together in 1986 for $120,000. Believe it or not I still use it. Equipment is worth about $1500 today.

It is possible that the selling price is not higher but if you need this machine and it breaks, then you need to buy something else for much more than the $ 1500. So I think a good and working machine has a very higher value, not least for you.
Ps. beautiful machine!
I love a machine and this one cut $750,000 for our Christmas sales one year
I’m trying to find information on these old Accu-Routers. This picture popped up in a search. Powermatic Accu-Router Series 1. Thanks! Jeff
Well, what do you want to know? I will sell mine if you are looking for one. I am needing to clear out some of my machinery. Ninety one January 21,2025 and my body and mind is telling me it is time. lol
Thanks for the reply. I am helping a family to liquidate machinery that is left after a friend passed. He had 3 of these. Trying to learn about them so I can help them advertise them. We just don’t know yet where to / how to do that. Is there a “following” for these machines? Thanks, Jeff
Jeff,
Our machine cost $120,000 when we bought it in 1986 including vacuum pump.They are not built anymore nor are they supported by AccuRouter. It was in constant use until 2021 when we retired from our family business.
If you have a vacuum table on any of them and possibly a vacuum pump to go with that you can maybe get $1500. That is if they are in working order. Some may have unusable router/router heads, drive motors that have been ridden hard, deleted Parameters etc.
Sorry to say most are “Junk”.
Thanks for the information. Yes there are vacuum pumps. Do you have any idea where the family can advertise them? Jeff
Type CNC forum into Google. There will be ways to advertise them.
