Yeah, in time for Christmas?

[David Somers]

Congrats Brian!!! Hope you enjoy it and it arrives quickly!!!

[Bert Kemp]

Looks good Brian. Wonder what photo program they use. I don't get good photos like that.

[Scott Marquez]

Congrats on the machine, or should I say "mail order bride". LOL

LOL, congrats with your purchase. I know exactly what you are feeling now, while ..... http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...82#post2634482

I'm sure that we both will have a great time next year.

[David Somers]

Bert....That is a sample image they provide with RDCAM. Not sure what the file itself was prepped with. You could ask Blanca at Ray Fine if she knows. (yanblanca@yahoo.com)

I've seen that pic on the Rabbit laser website also. Must be std. But it looks good!
I like that the smaller machines have water temp reading, but I guess walking 3 ft to get to back side of mine is ok. Guess I could move the cooler around to the side

So it will make the ship Friday?
If so, it will make port by the first of Jan. Maybe you can get it pretty soon after!
I know you can't wait!

[John Lifer]

Oh, and I notice it appears that you have a much better red dot than what's on mine but no autofocus that I can see. (that might not be too bad, mine was damaged in shipping and is rudimentary anyway).

[Brian Book]

Thanx everyone ..... well when talking with Blanca she said about 50 days until it arrives at port ..... she said she has a warehouse in Toronto so they are shipping it there and I only live 45 min. from Toronto .... I'm thinking I might get it mid January ...... (fingers crossed) ..... just to let everyone know .... I have never used equipment like this before but I am really eager to learn .... I am a Pen Turner and wanted to initially engrave Pens but when I looked into else can be done and made thought about getting a more robust unit.

I hope everyone doesn't mind but I'm almost sure there are going to be a few questions along the way .... but I will do a search first

Erik I spent the summer in Enschede absolutely loved it .... I was considering going up in size but with all the other equipment in my shop .... there was no room left

FWIW, and this was 3 years ago, my Triumph left their parking lot 10-22-13, it arrived in town 11-27, 36 days later. That was the day before Thanksgiving and it was too big for a truck drop off so it sat in a warehouse till the day after Thanksgiving when I went and picked it up.

you guy's buying 1390's, this is what you'll be looking forward to!
-- that machine filled that crate wall to wall top to bottom, with only 1/2 styrofoam. They are that big!

So here's hoping your machine will get to you closer to 35 days than 55

.... well when talking with Blanca she said about 50 days until it arrives at port .

.... I'm thinking I might get it mid January

Hi Brian, I'm not that good in math, but 50 days shipping doesn't add up with mid January,or is the ship already at sea since some weeks? 50 days, it's a lot.

Enschede is nice, as is the whole area aroud it. I live about 40 minutes from that city.

[Bill George]

I am wondering why it just does not ship to the West coast and be trucked to where you are? Other wise the ship needs to go by way of the Panama canal and then up the East coast. It would take maybe 5 days by truck, who knows how many the long way via ship? You will need an agent to handle the FDA forms and customs. Expect to pay duty also.

[Brian Book]

Well I might have gotten my wording mixed up a bit .... Blanca said 50 days from date of Order to the port

Erik I have to admit I sure do miss the Nederlands

Bill it is possible that they are shipping it by truck from the west coast to Toronto ... I just mentioned that Toronto was the nearest large city that I lived close to ..... but she never asked for more $$$$$ for shipping by Truck ?

Kev .... I'm kinda jealous I don't have a machine that BIG ! .... but there just isn't much room left in the Shop

Hi Brian,

I am considering one these to add to my toy collection as well,

How easy was it to set up the order and delivery from them?

In the end, if you dont mind, how painful were the shipping and duties etc?

Thanks
Mac
