General Mach Discussion / New to everything, and a big question
« on: May 03, 2006, 03:13:26 PM »
Hello everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself on here. I am a current university student and have been running a small business for the past couple years. Last week I purchased a new TAIG cnc machine with the Xylotex board (4 axis). I make and sell pewter pendants.
I am using solidworks 2004 to design, exporting to MeshCAM, then to Mach3. So far, I am great at solidworks...but after that I'm lost.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about my setup in Mach3. Does anyone have their machine set for a Taig with the Xylotex board, and I could just copy your settings file?
Since I am so new to this, is there anything I can do to break the machine while playing with it? Anyway, I hope to participate a lot on here as I begin to learn this exciting new hobby.
Thanks in advance,
-CG
