Hi Patrick. Welcome to the Zone.

Just so happens I'll be shopping in SoLV shortly. Just got back from Texas and found some real nice stuff there, but being a So Cal boy, I don't want to deal with the humidity. I'd be interested in talking with you when the time comes.

Hey all, just introducing myself, Dave from southern Ohio. Been working on machine tools for long time. Been field service for a CNC manufacturer ( Emco ) and a distributor in Pittsburg, PA. Was a road warrior and have been all over the U.S. and parts of Canada. Heck, I have probably been in some of your shops. Worked on numorous mills and lathes and many types of controls. Also done some design and fixturing work. This forum has been a good read. If anybody needs some help or ideas I'd be glad to help if I can.


Nice to meet you all,
Dave

One thing that many of the newly registered users might be doing is considering which brand (or DIY) of machine to go with. This forum was a big help for me in deciding which brand to go with. I've only posted one other time than this but I'm still waiting on my machine. I'm sure there will be plenty of "Help! I'm stuck once again" posts from me once it actually arrives.

I allways here but hiding in the shodows watching.
But I do come out time to time to say high.

HI

[mikeschn]

I've been asking some dumb questions, but no body has picked on me! So I guess that means it's safe to come out and play! (er I mean post!)

Hope to see more posts from newbies!

Mike...

Hey Ken, Just about right in the middle between Columbus and Cincinnati just off of 71 in Wilmington. Where you out of?

Oh BTW, travled enough, give me 2 days on site and I sound like a local. Although Jersey was tough

I gotta wonder...

Why do so many people come by to just watch, make no comment or participate?

The Fadal poll that is running has seen 850 views to date
10 votes so far = 1.1% participation

That's the worst voter turnout ever!

It's a free country only if we participate!

Hi,

I've been lurking for some time now just absorbing the huge amount of information here before committing myself to purchasing the necessary to make a CNC router.

I am a teacher of Design Technology in Liverpool, England and as such am not surprised there are so many lurkers. People learn in many differnt ways, some like to shout about their achievements from the roof tops while others are more subdued and restrained. Just as with personalities, some of us are shy, not quite sure of ourselves and justifiably reticent. Bear with us - we will communicate in our own time.

I will have many questions to ask when the project gets under way. My intention is to use the experience of building a machine for the school as both a learning and teaching tool. The proposed spec is a 2000 x 500 x 100 machine for light milling and routing. Not yet decided to go stepper or servo.

This is the best forum on the planet, please let people use it the way they want.

All the best to everyone.
