WTB ~Fletcher 3000 or 3100 60"

[framing fashionista]

We are interested in picking up a 60" fletcher 3000 or 3100 gently used. We are looking at hopefully finding something within a 400 mile radius of Lexington, KY 40502. If you know of anyone or have one for sale, we don't want to spend more than $500. Thanks in advance!

Make sure you put a word in with your distributors and their reps. One of our distributors keeps a bulletin board on their web site for folks selling used equipment.

I think your budget is a little low for the condition and convenience, but who knows? Folks down the road from me sold their 3 year old Fletcher 2100 for $200.

If this does not sell within a couple of months, I may consider a lower price. Keep in touch.

Jim,
I saw that, but I think Frankie (the owner) is looking for something a little newer. I'll definately stay in touch. If she continues to try cutting museum glass on our current machine, she may change her mind!

I understand. Yes, a newer machine is generally better, but some machines age better than others, depending on how they are maintained. I've seen two-year-old cutters that barely operate because of uncleaned filth, wear from lack of simple maintenance, or abuse. Mine is not like that.

Another age-related factor is the design of the machine. Mat cutters, for example, have been improved with every new generation. Sure, the improvements are slight, but sometimes significant. To my knowledge, the 3000 wall cutter design has remained unchanged for a long, long time.

If you could find a newer wall cutter for $500 or less, it would either be incredibly underpriced, or it would have some problems. So long as you can se and evaluate the machine before you buy it, and know what to look for, you should be OK.

Happy shopping!
