Hello,
New to CNC, my machine is just days old. Still trying to figure out the vcarve software. Starting to hate vcarve, hoping to find hints and tips here to help me figure out how to get it to do what I want.

Hello,
I'm a computer electronics engineer/ woodworker/ machinist/ welder/ fabricator and I have more tools than I have time for.........looking to add another, a CNC router! I have wanted to learn CAD and CAM for years and now its time to tackle this endeavor. After spending the last month doing a ton of research I have decided to join to start learning and sharing. I'm working on my first CAD design CNC router and will be posting to get feed back as soon as I get it finished. Looking forward to meeting similar minded people who love to make things and create as much as I do!

I own a woodworking business and I am thinking of setting up a 3d capable CNC or find a business to make the panels that my business needs. Can anyone give a ballpark number what their shop would charge to copy an original carving that is 18"x18" and 1/2" deep at its deepest point and is an artistic wildlife scene? If the work was close but not perfect to save on machining time I can finish it with a dremel tool. I would need the original copied and 20 copies made at first then around 60 per year. There would be a total of 5 scenes by the end of the year.

Hello all fellow CNCers

I am new to this CNC world having just purchased an Evo-One desktop mill from Makerdreams in Italy. After a couple of teaching problems all is working great. I am looking to use it to make signs, engrave wooden boxes which will be my main product line, etc. Looking forward to being a part of this forum.

Hello,

I'm a student Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently working on a project to build a robot-cutter and welder. I'm using an ABB 2000M robot, a plasmacutter and a Mig/Mag welder.

I own a small business and procure volume production quantities of custom molded rubber and plastics BUT kind of "on the side" I work with a lot of inventors and short run requirements. I am looking for someone who builds rubber and transfer molds and plastic injection molds, usually for short runs. We don't mind the bigger shops and we utilize them but their culture usually yields massive price overkill for some of the small inventors and businesses I work with.

Hi to all, I am a retired Science laboratory Technician, and currently involved with a local men's shed who are thinking of investing some time and a small amount of cash to set up a CNC router/miller for the use of the members. My knowledge of CNC is at the moment only what I have read. I am looking forward to gaining more information from this site, so I may eventualy build my own machine.
I am shore a machine will be of help in my hobby of antique car restoration, in the machining of parts etc.

[CzDaveC]

I am a Machine Shop owner. I have been doing Breakdown machining, prototype and one off Machining for over 30 yrs. I was just recently in a position to purchase a nice large CNC mill of early 80's design with a Fanuc 6M controller. I am looking forward to getting this unit back into production / use to be able to expand my services to my customers.
Looking forward to getting to know some new people and expand my machining knowledge.
