Nested-based routers
The cabinet and millwork shop standard, with a vacuum table and an automatic tool changer.
Routers, plasma, laser and waterjet
Sell your CNC router, plasma or laser table
Nested-based and ATC routers from cabinet shops, plasma tables from fab shops, fibre lasers and waterjets. Table, gantry and the gear that runs with it, as long as the machine is over 1 ton.
Picking up across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Sea-to-Sky, from Squamish and Pemberton down to Chilliwack.
Min1 ton
1 ton is 2,000 lb, about 907 kg. Benchtop mills, desktop routers and hobby lasers usually come in lighter, so we can't take them. Not sure about yours? Here's how to check.

Machines we buy
Routers, cutting tables and waterjets we take
Big flat-bed machines come out of cabinet shops, sign shops, fabricators and plastics shops all over the region. These are the ones we buy.
ATC and 5-axis routers
Moving-gantry routers with tool changers, aggregate heads or a full 5-axis head.
Plasma tables
Water tables and downdraft tables, with the power source and torch height control.
Fibre laser cutters
Flatbed fibre lasers with the source, the chiller and any shuttle or pallet table.
Waterjets
The cutting table, the intensifier pump and the abrasive feed system as one sale.
Industrial CO2 cutters
Large flatbed CO2 lasers over 1 ton. Desktop engravers are too light for us.
Photos
Photos that help us price a table machine
Table machines have a lot of separate pieces, so a few extra photos help us see the whole setup.
- The whole machine from one end, so we can see the table length
- The controller switched on, or the control PC if it runs from one
- The machine nameplate and the nameplate on the power source, laser source or pump
- The spindle or cutting head, plus the tool changer on a router
- Everything that runs with it: vacuum pump, dust collector, chiller, fume extractor
- The table surface, so we can see the spoilboard, slats or water table
Before pickup
Getting a table machine ready to move
Gantry machines are wide rather than tall, and they often come apart. Plan the prep with that in mind.
Park the gantry and the head where the manual says to, and fit the shipping locks if you have them.
Have your electrician disconnect the machine and every unit wired to it.
Drain a plasma water table and scoop out the slag. On a waterjet, drain the tank and dig out the abrasive sludge.
Drain the chiller on a laser, and disconnect the vacuum hoses and dust ducting on a router.
Turn off and disconnect the air supply, and clear a path wide enough for the table to come out.
Table size
Tell us the size and what runs with it
Give us the cutting area, like 4x8 or 5x10, and the overall footprint. Bigger tables often split into the table, the gantry and the electrical cabinet, and we plan the load around that.
The vacuum pump, dust collector, chiller, fume extractor and intensifier pump all count toward the quote. Tell us which ones are part of the sale.
Where we pick up
Table machines from shops across the region
We pick up from cabinet and millwork shops in Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, fab shops in Port Kells, Delta and Mission, sign shops around Vancouver and Burnaby, and businesses in the Sea-to-Sky from Squamish to Pemberton.

Questions
Questions about selling a router, plasma or laser table
Do you take the vacuum pump and dust collector?
Yes, with the router. List everything you're including when you send the details. Each piece changes the quote and how we load the trailer.
The plasma water table is full of slag. Does it need cleaning out?
It needs to be drained, and the worst of the slag scooped out, before pickup. A full water table is far heavier than the machine's listed weight and can't be moved safely.
Is a 4x4 hobby router big enough for you?
Usually not. Most hobby and small sign-shop routers come in under 1 ton. Send us the model and we'll tell you straight away.
Do you buy CO2 lasers?
Industrial flatbed CO2 cutters, yes, when they're over 1 ton. Desktop engravers and small CO2 lasers are too light for us.
What size table can you take?
Give us the cutting area (5x10, 4x8 and so on) and the overall footprint. Larger tables often come apart into the table, the gantry and the electrical cabinet, and we plan the move around that.
