Getting in touch with Shenhui?

Another interesting thing to do with old hard drives is make mirrors for laser engravers. Do a search for the thread.

Those prices are really good , I spoke to blanca just now , they are 1 year old , not used but mnfgred by them a year ago. (same production as mine) Come with 60w Tubes and all the accessories. Blower , pipes , air assist etc .Cheap chiller , but it's good enough for the 60w tubes they supply.They wont have the latest motherboard etc , but thats no trainsmash. Great for a starter or 2nd machine.

I don't know anything about engraving machines, but reading through this I am curious why people order things like spare motherboards and LCD panels.

I don't know anything about engraving machines, but reading through this I am curious why people order things like spare motherboards and LCD panels.

Because they fail and people don't want to wait for them to ship a new replacement from China. With their policies and holidays, you could get it within a few days or you could get it in 3-4 weeks. People that order replacements want to have their own supply so if something goes bad, they can pull it off the shelf and install it and be running the same day, not losing money waiting for something to come whenever it happens to come along.

[John Coloccia]

I wouldn't have guessed that LCDs and motherboards failed that much. Really what I missed, though, is that this is coming direct from China. I assumed that they had someone in North America that stocked machines and spare parts so it seemed funny to order a machine's worth of spares. It also makes sense now why everyone is so hot to make sure nothing is missing from the order. I was thinking to myself, "What the heck is the big deal? If something's missing just call and have it sent out...what's with these guys?" LOL.

[Rodne Gold]

Those spares will actually work in just about any chinese machines apart from belts , you can sell them on if you don't use them.
All I have had fail in over a year of using my 2 machines is a cheap tube , due to operator error - we have gone thru a lens or 2 cos my staff are rough.
