I sure did. Unfortunately the UPS man thought that dropping it off the back of the truck on its side would be fine even though it said fragile. I have a great picture of the crate sitting by my workshop on its side with a big UP sign painted on it pointing towards the wall.
Steve at Cheap CNC has been great in helping me get things sorted out. I am 90% there. I had to fix the gantry where one of the support rods was pushed through the upright.
I thought I had it all worked out until this weekend where I loaded a large program and found the X-axis to bind in one area. Turns out the threaded drive rod was bent into a "U" during the UPS Drop. The rod was removed from the machine for shipping and was attached to the crate side. Steve is sending a replacement so I should be back in business by the weekend.
The machine uses the MaxNC drive system and software. So far I have been very pleased with it. I downloaded turbocnc but was not nearly as happy with the interface. However, I loved the jog feature on turbocnc!
Overall, for the price I think it is a great deal. The Porter-Cable laminate router is first rate with very little runout.
I have been able to run some parts, and I will post some pictures tomorrow ( I am currently sitting in bed with a sore back...but loving the joys of a WiFi home network!)
Now I am working on the CAD/CAM part. It has certainly been a challenge. I am learning DesignCAD from CD tutorials and just bought DeskCNC for the CAM part and to do some engraving and STL work (we have a laser scanner at work I can get access to).
How is that for a brief answer!
