    Redhot Jumper First used Santinelli ME-1000 on the market!

    I have a 4 year old machine and auto-blocker that is in perfect condition and includes the electronic data base of over 2,000 patterns and every drill mount made.
    Any drill mount is easier to do than a full metal frame. :bbg::bbg::bbg:

    The machine will be installed by Santinelli after they go over it and change out the hoses and tubes. The machine will also come with a new set of wheels.
    It has only 15,000 cuts on it and I will get the new version to test for them. You will save approx. $28,000 by getting this machine and that does not include my database of drill mounts.

    http://www.santinelli.com/products/me_1000.aspx to see more information on the ME-1000 and click on software to see the software package http://www.santinelli.com/products/Fashionlab.aspx

    This is an amazing offer if you carry Lindberg, Cartier, Kawaski, Silhoutte or any other brands that specialize in drill mounts.

    There is a new version available.

Santinelli wants to help me get a new machine and that is why they are willing to go over it and install the machine. I am a tech junkie and like the newest toys. This was the second machine in the US.

    The machine is amazing and anyone who buys it will be able to do better work with less effort than they ever thought possible. The combination of the software designed for the machine with the blocker/tracer allows anyone to put out perfect work every time.

    Hope that answers the question!

    Every drill mount and pattern is in the computer!

    We have a separate software package on a PC that is connected to the tracer and edger; it is called Fashion Lab and a demo is on the Santinelli web site.
    We have the ability to cut and paste any drill mount coordinates to any pattern in seconds. This software is great because we have over 3,500 patient jobs saved and can access over 2,000 patterns.

    Patients get any drill mount while they wait. We order the lenses and they get called for an appointment when we will switch them out to the new RX; the lenses will already be cut and drilled prior to the patient making the return appointment.

    This is a great way to offer the ability to do any drillmount for a patient and they don't have to give up their only frame.

    Let me know if you have any specific brands you are looking for or any other questions.

    Wave It is time to sell my ME-1000 and the price has dropped!

    It is time for me to get the new ME-1200 and I am looking for only $15,000.00 for my machine; it is $55,000 new. I am keeping the tracer/blocker as it is the same as the new one. The machine has 22,500 cuts and is kissed at the end of each night to let it know how much we appreciate it.

    It has been a perfect machine for 7 years and it needs a loving home. IF you are in the market for a machine that does everything but high-curve, this is the deal!

    Let me know if there are any questions and I can also have Santinelli go thru the machine and deliver it if necessary. They want me in a new machine as well and I am very jealous of Barry and his new toy.

    40 to 15, Craig you're killing me.

    I just bought one 2 weeks ago, I would have rather had yours especially since you're 2 hours away.

    I wish you would have been selling back in December. I used one of these at the last place I was, and it was amazing. We did in house Silhouette and Kawasaki there, and that edger was a dream.

    Wow! $15K for a ME-1200 is a great price! If I needed an edger I'd take it!
