content: I am after a reflow oven, ideally with rails in the UK for my startup.Not looking for anything fancy but something good enough for lead-free shoebox-sized panels to go through.I have three-phase power and have no need for anything more than 8 zones.As for the collection, I have access to a side skirt van so can take something a bit heavy if you have forks or a loading dock on your end.DM me!

content: Still looking! My machine arrives sometime this month so looking to get one before the end of the month. Not got a massive budget though so looking for something under £1,000.

content: That machine on eBay I believe is pretty good. They offered it for £1500 last week. Might be worth finding extra budget as I don't know for sure but I believe that oven is decent.

content: Quote from: trevwhite on May 06, 2022, 10:09:38 pmI'm trying to get him to go lower. I got to pick it up as well which is like £150.I am happy to get it but the age of the machine means I don't want to spend too much.

content: Do they have any spares for it or know of any company that can support it? Maintenance is a good point. I have an old oven and twice I have needed to repair it. Luckily I had spares.

content: Quote from: trevwhite on May 06, 2022, 11:42:15 pmI have not asked them if they have any yet.From a quick search, there is stuff it there for the machine but it is not cheap.If anything goes wrong with it, would be looking at rebuilding it electronically.Hearing elements should be easy to replace?Chain might be a pain but the main frame will be fine.
