Another newbie

[whitehedr]

Hi, I am new to the world of CNC. I have so much to learn that it is beyond description. I am looking at making the CNC mod to my Grizzly X2 mini mill. I am currently researching the components. I have MANY questions that I will be asking in the not to distant future.

Enough on that, now a little about me. I am retired from a large mid-wetern electric utility that provides electric power to northern Illinois and Crook County. I dabble in photography, flying (sold my Skyhawk a couple of years ago), model building, some gun smithing (1911 pistols and Garand rifles) and now I am getting interested in CNC. I worked in electronics for my career which included repair of generating station instrumentation, plant process computers and finally the company telephone system. I had a nice career that lasted almost 35 years. My education was DeVry Tech, back when the ONLY campus was on Belmont in Chicago. I am a life long Sox, Bears, Blackhawk fan.

I am looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.
