Hi All
What happened to the UK Mach3 workshop. Has it died?

I hope not - Dave Waterworth mooted the idea, I don't know how far he has got.

Not a workshop as such [ at the moment ] but TEE are tacking CNC onto their October show at Leamington Spa.
They have put aside a demo area and there will be lectures over the 5 days of the show.
Brain and Scott from Artsoft are coming, Tony Mac from Vectric, John Prentice and Steve Blackmore, possibly OneCNC
China are sending two new machines [ still under wraps ]

We have the new KX1 and KX3 in industrial type cabinets now, under coolant and power so they can cut steel at the shows. Brain is borrowing my prototype KX1 for his demo's.

TEE will be looking at this closely to see if there is enough interest to spin a stand alone show from it, they have the space and facilities and being show organisers things like insurance isn't a problem.

They will be advertising in Engineering in Miniature and I'll update this as things happen.

Thanks
How good is the Leamington Spa show as its a long way from me?
I have just got my CNC machine working in anger about a week ago I would have liked to get a bit of a confidence booster.
