Hi,
I am currently considering buying a second hand Minimax ME20 Hot Melt edge bander. Does anyone know what sort of money they are worth? Going to view one tomorrow.

I can't help with price, but I'd go for a slightly better machine if you can push the budget a bit.
I had the same machine but with hot air melt, the ME20 is glue pot so it's better but the gullotines are not as good as cut off saws.
I now have a Casadei K330, great machine for it's size.

I was planning on spending around 15k for a fully automated machine with premilling and buffers but the price of this on is too good to pass up.....2k, it's in very good condition.

looks like a Good price.
I paid £3600 plus vat for mine about 8 years ago, I think it's 2006.
Just make sure it's tidy, they can be expensive junk if not looked after.
