Among the Shellbacks are those who have been granted the secret knowledge into the ways of Man in the hallowed city of Olongapo and whom are revered by common seaman and landlubber alike in tales of Legend.


LOL! Olongapo! I  first crossed ********* River in 1974.

My plan is to build a larger scratch built mill soon.

This seemed like a way to start learning, and get my feet wet, find out if I really want to dive in.

Also it is proving to be a valuable learning experience, partly because of the lack of documentation and support available from the seller.

If I just plugged it in and it started spitting out finished product, what would I have learned?

Tommorow I'll pop the cover on the box and see if there are any useful #s inside.

It seems to be working fine.  I ran some g-code that came with Mach3. All 3 axis moved. Haven't cut anything with it yet.

I'm just the kind of guy who wants to have the tech manuals handy.

Also I haven't figured out how to manually jog with it.

This is the USB Controller that came with my Chinese CNC router.
What is it called?

I'm looking for manuals for it.

Hello,

Just another noob.
My China special CNC arrived Friday. Got it assembled. Software installed, a bit of frustration when nothing moved. Got the USB driver into the right folder. It moves.


I've gone through a setup procedure I found on a Chinese CNC seller site. Not feeling real sure it's right yet.

Got it to dry run through a gcode file that came with mach3.

Is there a good setup tutorial that I can use?
