I've used a few Pacers. Pretty good mid range machine, well made, accurate cutting, lots of options. They've been bought out by AXYZ who make similar quality machines. What do you want to know? Are you buying one? New or used? I've been looking for a nice used one for while without luck.

I'd like to buy a used one, to be able to carve well, I guess wood! More specifically, thinks like chopping boards, boat names, chair backs etc. I'm fine at making what I want, but I'll be buggered if I can carve words - I seem to struggle enough with writing, and as for pictures....
So, I guess I'm after a fairly small bed, although if it would carve to a height (as in side on, on a board) then it'd be good.
I'm willing to spend quite a bit (in my mind) but have no idea of second had costs.

theres a website called mycncuk where they come up for sale second hand
a lot build their own for far less than you can buy one,

there are companies that sell kits but tbh it has a lot of markup added
