is there anyone in the boston area (or north/south shore/rhode island!) interested in swapping ideas or putting together a CNC machine, router or mill?

or anyone interested in just building electro/mechanical stuffs?

I'm on the North Shore, and am interested, but it will be a while until I get around to it

Eventually, I would like a CNC mill and a CNC router for my metalworking and woodworking. The CNC router would be great for furniture and the telescopes that I am making.

I'm in the area and have retrofitted a CNC machine and built my own plasma cutter. I'm always down for swapping ideas and hearing what other people are up to.

What electro-mechanical stuff are you thinking of buildilng?

I'm a little farther south in Westerly RI, but would be interested in talking.
I am working on building a router.
So far I have accomplished little. I built a hobby board, and am in the process of turning down the 1/2 acme to fit the bearings I have. Then I still have to make the bearing trucks and the router assembly itself. Hope to be finished before August gets here, but I doubt it.

Hello, Speedre here, I'm in So. NH also, right on the Mass border. I use Mach 3 as a control system and have suggested at their forum site that we start a support group made up of regionally local members, but to no avail. I'm down to get one going. I have a K2 CNC Ganty that I'd just love to know how to use to its full advantage. I'd also like to share horror stories . Get the ball rolling.

900 steve,
What size router are you looking to build?

SPEEDRE,
I bought a practicalcnc router, hows that for the first horror story!
All kidding aside, I have made a ton of stuff on this thing. I am using wincnc on mine but have heard the Mach is better. What are you having trouble with? Maybe I can help.

Lakeside,
Thanks for the offer. What are you going to Buy? Router, Plasma, Mill?

Chaulk up another one for southern NH, south of Manchester specifically. Already started on a servo machine that will mill Al, plasma and wield the gas hatchet....
