And here's something I started throwing together today that the 6040 will sit on.

You see, it currently sits on the dining table, and for reasons beyond me,  my wife has a problem with that

Hi Everyone.
New member here.

Just bought my first machine and I'm super excited to get into CNCing!!

I was warned not to, but I bought one of the infamous Chinese machines (I live there after all).
The machine is set up and running (not without a bit of struggle off course) but I have many many questions...

I'm steadily working my way through previous threads on here, because it seems that all the problems with Chinese products have been experienced countless times before.

First thing I want to clarify though is my Mach3 license.
I'm pretty sure I have a pirated copy - the well mentioned "MaoA˜A ¯Ðtonar"

My question is: how do I fix this?
When I buy a new license from the Mach3 website, will I get a Mach1Lic.dat file and then simply replace the existing one, or will it be a bit more complicated?

Many more questions to come, but I figure step one would be to pay my dues first 

Regards
André

Hi everyone!
Brand new here - as in, I signed up 3 minutes ago!

I'm originally from Cape Town but I've been living in Hong Kong for the last decade.

I have acquired a 6040 CNC machine a few weeks back. It's almost set up - just finalising the divorce proceedings as I had to install it in the lounge. You see, space comes at a premium here in Hong Kong. The wife said I have to choose between her and the CNC - I will really miss her...

Looking forward to what will essentially be a new hobby for me! I love working with wood, so most of my CNC work will probably use that medium.

Oh, and I apologise in advance for the seriously noob questions coming in the next few weeks!!

Regards
