I was wondering how many Aussie members there are on the group.
Also how many of you are using Siemens controls

Hi Aussies,

From Oak Flats NSW, near Wollongong, CNC Is our businness. Great to see Aussies join the zone, more and more every day.

Welcome jbo echnidna, and Kookaburra,
Your locally related contributions to this forum will be appreciated.
I am encouraging us Aussies to also put your State and even your suburb into your location details.
Already we have built a small network of CNCers in Melbourne. If you enter you suburb details you may be able to meet with others with the same interest.
Please also post any local suppliers you find in the "Aussie suppliers" thread. This will help us all to source products easier.

Thanks Kookaburra

We are in Bayswater Melbourne, and are toolmakers and cnc machinists.
I happened across the Zone by chance and think it is great.
I look forward to sharing some info in the future

Hey Boys,

This is great. There are quite a few of you guys here in Melbourne.
I'm out of Eltham, Myself.

I'm pretty much a novice at this. I have bought some linear rails a screw (linear that is) and some stepper motors. Now all i need is the know how to put this puppy together.

Any of you chaps wiling to lend a eyeball and guide me through some issues i have?

I am in the process of converting my Hafco drill mill to CNC.

I received my stepper motors today, have a xylotex controller, and ball screws will be here in a week or so, lots to keep me busy on the weekends!

Newcastle here. I started "gathering" bits and pieces for a router/engraver about 8 months ago, Xylotex, Vexta mtrs, Acme screws, Pwr supply, etc., but everything is on hold due to "real life" issues and I don't expect much progress for a few months yet.
