HELLO PEEBS
I'm in the UK (not by choice by birth) i have some (limited) experience with mach3 having worked a taig mill in a jewelers designing and making all manner of bling things and boxing belts etc also a revo 540c 5 (simulated) axis ..i have just recently got two machines from china one given to me and one purchased .the given is a three axis 60 40 with ball screws so appears OK not been run yet still cleaning it up ..the other smaller 30 40 is lead screws and looks like it might do the job but will replace the screws in time it is however four axis so i can mill cylinder stuff so may do some new legs for my coffee table
...lol i have also been trained by Auto desk and Delcam also rhino and matrix so am OK at modelling too just learning blender at the mo use sculptris and am considering the leap to z brush as it seems like the most capable program I've seen so far. I'm also an artist so like to sling a little colour around too my full time job is tattoo but i like to melt a little metal at times ..my main aim is to get into five and six axis carving so would appreciate any (cheap) leads in that direction
I'm not rich definitely in the DIY category AT THE MOMENT
