Again, brilliant work Kent.

Not too sure about the repair to the BBQ lid though.

Hi Jason,

As far as I am aware you will have to finally shut the computer down using the on/off button from now on, it won't be automatic as it was (a small price to pay - proving that every thing is a compromise).

As far as start-up is concerned, I have no idea - mine starts up just as quickly as it did before.

Regards,

Tweakie.

Hi Deadguy71,

I think you are saying just what we all thought when we first joined the forum or started out on CNC. Everything is a compromise between performance/ size/ cost/ knowledge/ etc/ etc/ etc. and we all have to start somewhere.

For my part I started by obtaining as many parts as I could that were going cheap on ebay then designing around them. If I started again from scratch I would surely have a different machine entirely - but one thing that would be the same is Mach3, everything has to be designed around this in my opinion.

If you have time and the inclination take a look at my website to see the direction I took.  http://www.cooperman.talktalk.net/

Best regards.

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / A BIG mistake.

The welding all seemed to go so well, the mistake was only noticed after the painting had been completed.

You have to be careful what's in the pictures you post Dave because that Sam has eagle eyes and he does not miss a thing.
