Hello
I have come to the framing authorites to ask about a Wizard 5000. I am considering purchasing a used machine for about $4000.00 I currently cut my own with a speed mat and only outsource a couple of mats a month to a larger framer with a Wizard. Those of you with a Wizard 5000 do you like your cutter and has it been reliable? Do you think the price is good for a 10 year old Wizard mat cutter?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I would check with Wizard about support for the older machine. I bought a used 5000 and traded it in on an 8000 a little over a year later. Wizard always treated me as if I was the original owner and gave me full trade in value. I made sure of my status with them before making the purchase.
