My First Purchase

[AuS MaDDoG]

Hi,

Well the CNC bug has definately got a hold of me. I have spent the last several weeks reading and reading with a lot more still to do.
A friend and I came across these great control panels which come with a built in computer, touch screen with a great strong well made cabinet to house all the electronic gear, so I could not pass it up, hence my first purchase.
If anybody else is interested I might be able to pick up a few more too.



I loaded Mach3 on to it to see how it went!! great no probs and the touch screen works great.
Got it at the right price too, which is even better. Now whats next????




Cheers
Tony.

That was a great find Tony. I found out about these yesterday from an unrelated forum site.

Did you happen to check out the model with the keyboard and trackball? From the pics they seemed a bit more suitable, but I could be wrong.

Cheers,

From what I can gather they are available in ALL States, ex Center Link, (get something from your tax dollars).

Hi Claudio,

Yes we did check out the others, however they do not stand as high and are more a sit down operation. The unit is going to be great for housing all the control equipment.
Well worth the $$ with a touch screen, working PC and thermal printer inbuilt too.

Cheers
Tony.

Hmm. I just bought one too. Contacting to pick it up tomorrow. Nice $value$
Looks more swarf proof than my PC, and I can leave the keyboard covered.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay between posts, just been so busy getting my head around all this CnC stuff over the last 12 months or so. A friend and I are building 2 machines together both having a cutting size of 2440 x 1220. We are now starting to really progress with the build, so thought I would throw up a couple pics just to bring you all up too speed with where we are at. We are still a fair while away from completion but all the heavy hard stuff is now behind us.
Cannot wait to get into the software and design stuff!! In one of the pics you can see both tables and the second pic is a closer shot of one of the tables with the E-Chain support brackets and E-Chains recently mounted.





Hopefully not too long between posts this time

Cheers
Tony.
