Mach4 General Discussion / [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vance_Miller]Kitchen[/url] sink CNC
« on: May 17, 2011, 09:02:19 PM »
Hi, I'm Roger from the Bay Area. I'm a rank amateur CNC hacker who acquired a Chinese 3 in 1 machine (Shopmaster 2000??) and promptly added steppers, drive electronics, and a used EBAY laptop. My dream is to have fun making things out of metal and plastic in my garage but do it without the very long process of learning how to be a full blown machinist first.
It turns out, truing up cheap Chinese 3 in 1 machines turns you into a machinist weather you like it or not
I used CNCPRO for a while and decided to upgrade everything so I could run Windows 7 and do advanced things like CNC threading. That lead me to the no-brainer investment of Mach3.
So here I am. Looking for advice and inspiration on this really cool forum.
See you all around.
