My job is a technician, I repair big cnc machines ie Morbidelli,Biesie,Homag Bazz, Anderson, Scm as well as other cnc type machines for the woodwork industry. But I love playing with stepper motors. I have built a cnc foam cutter and currently working on a 3axis router on a small scale.
My hobby is building and flying remote control aircraft.

A company I used to work for was unloading old machine tools, and I bought a Bridgeport with Anilam Crusader II, and they threw in all the software, books and blueprints.

Price was cheaper than building my own, so that is my interest; but I'm by no means a professional.

28 years as a Tool & Die Maker Jig & Fixture/ Welder. I was doing a project for myself and I wanted to do and inside Rad with multi steps. Man I tried with my router I really did, and I just could not hold any kind of tolerence, and I wanted a bunch of parts. I found after 6 months online and talking to 50 different people, a K2CNC with Mach3, WOW are my Rads nice now. And I can make loads of them. Plus I'am still trying to learn mastercam that will help a lot more. My passion for learing to programm and push the cycle start and make parts is an absolute nut off. What a retirement tool this machine can be.And there are so many clever guys on the zone. Talent zone is what we should call this. Hands free, and thinking in 3D, is where it's at...

hard to decide what is my interest, to operate, to programming both of is exciting... after several year on conventional machines it's just a vacation, when the program is ready and the machine do what exactly need... less so called testpieces:-))))
what is really interest that 's the optimalization, i mean where is not only a few object, pockets on one workpices, but where the elements close to the hundreds or more
anyway the past can help me, because the experience, what a tool can stand or where should be the limit in one pass that came greatly when i just used conventional machines.. even to find out a feedrate.... or just to fix a workpiece.... somehow the wise not so universal.... i like better to clamping stuff...

Have not used one myself but have seen many used. i just needed a new hobby and cnc really interested me.

I am a person interested in CNC because I need the ability to make some parts for an invention. There are proprietary reasons for making them myself. Therefore, I need to learn CNC milling and perhaps even more. Seems interesting anyway. I believe your only limit is your imagination.
