I'll be selling my Axiom AR6 ProV5. This was new in January 2021. I upgraded the control system to Centroid Acorn which gives it huge new capabilities: 1) Much greater speed for the rotary attachment. I also made mounts for the rotary attachment making it easy to swap in and out. 2) Pulsed-width modulation for laser control. It now has all the capabilities for laser engraving pictures, for example. Beyond that, this upgrade makes it easy to use other lasers (I have three Opt laser heads, not included). You can also use Lightburn software very easily. 3) You can now digitize objects and either machine them directly or import the vectors into Vectric Aspire for further modification. I use this pretty frequently. 4) You can use other tool touch off devices (like the Centroid TT-4) that makes tool changes really easy. Just put in the new bit, hit a button to adjust Z-height and start cutting again. 5) Centroid Acorn software brings a TON of new capabilities and versatility. 6) You have full on the screen readouts of current machine operation, easy spindle and feed rate override, graphic preview of cuts and more.
I can very honestly say the Acorn upgraded has so significantly increased my abilities I've outgrown the 2x3 frame. This would be a very powerful tool in a small shop.
I'm also including the toolbox, EVA spoil boards, and Axiom overarm dust boom. The NUC computer and touchscreen that interface with the Centroid control system are not included. I will also include all the customization files I've made to enhance the user interface.
PM me if you have interest. I'm located in Central New Jersey.

Rotary module with Acorn controller. You can adjust things like rotary speed. It could go faster but this is stable. I'm using the Vectric Inverse Time Mode PP made available by Gary Campbell. It works fantastic and really speeds up rotary milling clipchamp.com/watch/UDfelfbzbUv

Laser engraving of a client's house. Photo was edited in Photoshop and exported to Lightburn. The GCode from Lightburn was loaded into the system and engraved with an Opt laser on maple.

A recent project (the end of the file is still visible in the first Acorn UI photo). I got a sample of this moulding on Thursday afternoon, digtized it that evening and made the model in Vectric Aspire. Sent a photo of the Vectric cut model to the client that night. I cut the first prototype (shown below) on Friday and showed a second prototype to the builder on Saturday morning.
