Yeah that option is in the price list. Total $4590 for a 4x8 unit with electronics (control box, motors, home switches, etc) and a Mach 3 license. All you would need is a table to mount it to and a router.
Well besides a computer and CAD/CAM software(s) which can all be found quite reasonably.
PM me with you email or just email me at wedmfg@yahoo.com

I paid $4900.00 for a CNC from Mike 2 years ago and have yet to take delivery or get a full refund. If you think I am kidding I will send you the pay pal receipt. He would not answer my phone calls and changed his email. So be careful guys.
Here is my Paypal invoice.

WTF?

No I am "DEAD" serious! I am surprised that I ran across this post. I paid through pay pal and he pushed back my delivery date of my machine for months, and by that time you cannot make a dispute or claim on Paypal. And after pushing back my delivery date I ended up buying a shop bot instead. I asked for a refund, got around 600.00 and nothing after that. He shut down the website www.wedmfg.com and would not answer phone calls.

We bought one of his machines 2 years ago. We did receive ours, but months later than projected. I would only recommend for hobbyists; not very rigid. But some sacrifices need to made with such a price. Although I see he has a new revision of the machine. Last year we completely rebuilt the CNC, making use of the electronics and racks. Heavily inspired by the ShopBot machine

Overall, I am very happy we purchased the Bear for our first machine. Learned a ton! Learned even more designing our own. I talked him many times to work out any kinks. I suppose he is struggling like any new business, but I do wonder how he can offer this price with the amount of assembly he requires for his machines... I am still waiting for the starter bit set from him... but that's only $150. The whole machine. Dang!

WTF Mike?
Why has this not been resolved?
Yes. Through a number of stupid business mistakes, mismanagement, and unforeseen outside forces in the world’s economy; MBsnow’s initial claim is correct. I will not layout a sob story but just say that I am desperately trying to claw my way out of some of the worst series of events I have ever been through.
To be clear no email addresses have ever been changed or discontinued. My cell phone number is the same as it has been for 12 years and by the sheer grace of God we remain at the same address. The website was left go because I simply could not maintain the mere $20 per month charge for it without incoming orders.
There is no excuse for falling out of contact with you Ryan and I am sorry to have put you in the backseat so to speak about this. I had no other choice but to try and support my family and keep my house the best and only way available. My workshop was shut down for awhile so I could focus on any other work to survive. When there has been time to take on shop orders since they just haven’t been there.
This update posting was the first activity I have had in nearly two years and as the only way I can see to dig out of this hole is to move forward; I posted what I have in the works in hopes to gain further interest and consideration. Rightfully your duty is to advise others here and elsewhere of your personal experience and dealings.
Redbull makes some good points also, and I too have learned a great deal. Not the least of which is the true cost of a machine build and the case of cancelled orders. For starters I state plainly and clearly these things are custom built upon order. Once the materials are bought and the machinists and other vendors have been paid for their part a return of the purchase funds is impossible.
Anyone that has built a machine will hopefully back this statement up; at my asking price I don’t include much of what someone would consider as profit. Cancelled orders for any reason at anytime in the process of the order can be and have been devastating when the above hasn’t been stated and agreed to in contract form.
So yes, anyone that may consider giving this machine a look see be advised there are customers I need to get right with yet. Also be aware that I have not gone anywhere nor shifted anything around in any attempt to defraud. I did have to regroup but I am honestly trying to rebuild rather than disappear and in the process attempt to satisfy those accounts still outstanding.
I have always strived to make each machine better and have poured everything time and again into the designs to allow them to be cost effective to make and own. In the recent down time I have been able to refine the v4 model design into the final flagship form.
The result is a robust and modular machine frame that is cheap to fabricate and assemble on a scale of shop like mine. And I have recently met a new machinist friend that can affordably mill and machine the parts for the built or at least let me have access to a machine shop to do it myself. He has been able to machine the improved drive components for the new design however.

I understand we all have financial problems Mike, but I would appreciate if you can give me a call so we can square everything up. If you cant refund the money then at least send me a machine, or work out some kind of plan. I believe we spoke about making core blanks before, at this point I don't really care I would just like a resolution. Ryan
