Steve, FWIW, are you talking about both the X and Y belts and bearing all together? I just bought the X belt and bearing kit and it was $219, I haven't had need to replace the Y belts yet. I do much more cutting than engraving though.

Yes, replacing everything in both axis. I think it also includes the bearings and pulleys that are on the Y-Axis. It's been a while since we replaced them all and they are due for it. It hasn't gotten as much usage as it used to since we try to do most everything on the Trotec these days.

Still again, Even $300 a year/ divided by the amount of money the machine is making you when it wears out those belts. I would not consider that amount excessive, I would consider it the cost of doing business.

My Trotec runs 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Two days down time in three years.

I must be doing something wrong? Going on 6 years and only replaced one limit switch, one lens an mirror. Don't use every day but 5 to 6 hours at time 2 to 3 times a week.
