Asking someone to give you a post will usually get you ignored, or flamed. And then there told have you check with you dealer and then try to figure out if you have copied software.

Its kind of a bait and switch thing going on.

I have only been here a short time and it seems that most of the traffic is with the hobbyists. As a machinist with 30 years experience it’s great to see what the nonprofessionals are doing. I learn something every time I stop here.

Hi, There. I'm a mastercam programmer making extrusion dies on vertical mills. Built a cnc router and have one on order from LIbertycnc also. Enjoying and learning from these sites. Would be very much interested if anyone here cuts out carbon electrodes with a router and how it works out for them! This place is a treasure trove of information. Thanks.

No Doubt about it - This 'zone has it all! Helpfull encouragement and a host of experts across the field. You can get a question answered on electronics, mechanics, programming, mill speeds, and even more esoteric ones too!
Is it possible the "levels of achievement" , chip sweeper -master, apprentice, etc are a bit "off-putting"? I don't, maybe its intimidating to some?

Perhaps accept the range of participation as a reflection of the range of interests and experience on the site. Newbies ask questions when they're ready to, and have always gotten great assistance.

BUT - its always helpful to revisit, rewind, or refresh - its what keep this site alive! And encouraging participation is a GOOD thing!
Thanks and
Jim
PS - not yet even a chip sweeper really - just a noise maker!

Hi All

What A great site!!
I am a CNC Programmer/machinist
I want to build a CNC Router with a forth axis.
So many of my questions are answered by reading the posts.

I will reply to CNC programming questions if asked.

I use SolidWorks, Delcam PowerMill , Visual Basic

Thanks to all on this site

I thought I'd add my cents in.... Just finished assembling a driver system with gecko 320's from Dan at camtronics, Hooked up the servo motors and ran a Spiral g-code on Mach2, watched the motors on the soft carpet twist and rock as they reversed to the signals. Now, while familiarizing myself with Bobcad, am waiting to get the Shoptask delivered and mount the motors.

Hi. David Hays here in the Pacific Northwest. I am only now planning my entry into CNC. I have been doing precision woodwork for years, and did production machine work many years ago ('66-'71).

I do computer work now for living, but am going to convert a Grizzly 1006 bench mill to CNC over the next year. I also have visions of building a 3' x 6' gantry-type router-based cnc system, but one step at a time.

For the present, I'm just gathering knowledge of tools and methodology by lurking in such places as this.

Gest Regards,

David

Hey,
I am fairly new to CNC programming 2 yrs exp.I use AlphaCam to program. The company I work for is in the Door and Window industry. I am very impressed with the forum that you have going here. Would like to try and build my own CNC router some time, so I've found a lot of good stuff here.Don't have much to say just like to visit and read what everybody else has to say.So keep pouring out the information and I will keep soaking it up.
Thanks

Hey guys,
I am a programmer up in MN. I have only about 2yrs programming(mastercam of course) and about 6yrs in the trade. I spend a lot of time "lurking" because I don't want to sound like an "I.nC.apable O.bstructive N.uisance." No, I love these forums and all the knowledge the experienced people share with us greens.

I'm a new member I just joined... I live in Galveston Texas and am starting a CNC project of my own design.... I'm a Structural Engineering major at A&M Galveston. And hope to someday build boats.
