in and around Springfield | | Nice to here from you would be very happy to meet with you and chat,about cnc. Iv built a cnc router,Been working on it for a few years now Iv scrounged parts from any thing That I thought would make a contrubition to my machine. (little here and a little there) but just got it going a few months ago. Im in a learning stage with the software Im using turbocnc as my machine running software and Cambam as me conversion from DXF to g-code software and have found it to be very good. my computer is a 300mhtz with Windows 98 so that I can use Dos with out the windows envirement because of timing issues with turbocnc and my stepper motors. (They skip steps while running in windows)
My table is !6inches by 30 inches on the x,y axes and the Z axes has about 3 inches of travel.
I get a lot of my things from a place in springfield called Holloway Industrial Sales they deal in used machines of all kinds so they have a lot of parts and bits and pieces of alum. and steel also. You might give them a try.
when ever you want to get together just message me and we can set up a place to meet. or any one else for that matter. I dont know a lot about cnc but this forum is one of the best places to learn. and I have found cambam and turbocnc to be the best starting places for the software. cheers |
