Hi all! My name is Tim and I am an engineer and live in the Portland, Oregon area.
I have a G0704 mill that has been converted to CNC that I use mostly for machining custom fixturing for the laser measurement systems I use in my job. Currently it uses a parallel interface, but will soon be upgrading it to an ESS - just ordered the parts today. In addition to the mill I also have a 3D printer and just upgraded to a 10x22 manual lathe from a smaller Prazi. At work I use Bobcad/cam, and just acquired Sharpcam for use at home.
This is a great site for all things Mach3 - valuable information. I've been browsing a bit and found several items that will undoubtedly be of great help as I do the ESS conversion. Thanks to all who contribute!
