Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciated all the help I can get. I will take a look at what you have mentioned today :-)

Just need to get the complete parts list and plans, do you know anyone who has purchased the plans from Rockcliff Machines?
Reading the description they sound very good, but because I new to this there may be better out there ?

I will probably start off using wood but wold like to try alum :-)

Thanks again.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3

Hi,

I'm completely new to all this so please bare with me... I have a couple of questions.

1. What is needed to be able to engrave in Alloy, anything different to what would be used to carve/engrave wood?

2. Does Mach3 allow images to be imported then output to your chosen material?

3. Is it possible to engrave into an alloy wheel?

I've been looking on the Rockcliff Machine site and I'm interested in building my own CNC machine... can anyone give me any pointers as to where to start with this?


Many thanks for your time and patients.
