hi all,
my name is kees and live in Holland, working in the prefab making buildings. i want to built my own cnc machine and learn to understand the software be needed .
I found this forum because of the quality its on and my intrest for mach3

thanks,

Kees

hey kees    
   I'm (NEW) at this too.
i am building my first cnc router  or any cnc .    A cnc router  KIT. 
you are going to make a cnc or a cnc router?  
 you can download mach3 demo with mach 3 addons for free  i also have cam/bam .
 New to CAD and CAM very very hard for me to understand   also web site cnc zone you can print a cnc glossary  i would print every manual fisrt before downloading  (spiral folder works good  )step by set is the only way to go. mach 3 addons  helps in tying everything together. you also might see if you can find someone there to help you
 you might check on  a class. 
when i first started this i was thinking 30 days i will be up and running. right now im laughing at myself.
have fun

 HI everyone my name is mike
 im in the beginning stages of getting my diy cnc router going in the dust 
 im sure im not the first person to go out and buy all the stuff to build a cnc and not know nothing. and i was told many times that doing somthing like this over my head and there's
  here is the bad or good part i couldnt do this without you guys helping me .
 my problem i do not have a formal education so i have to learn more  which is great, but i have to try hard and ask if there is some books or a web site  that any of you know about that can help me understand
 
 

 

 
Hi Mike welcome aboard, you've made the first step and having committed money to the plan you have a big incentive to see it threw
The other big PLUS is the knocker and blockers in your life,they will only make you strive to accomplish your goal, imagine the satisfaction when you get everything going, and you reach your goal posts.it is not the education that you did not receive that counts, but the education that you WILL receive, and carry with you for ever from this project
 If you address any questions you have to the general forum I know the guys will be keen to help
  Dick
 

  THANK YOU
 i wasn't ready to post that blog but   its OK   i was a little upset that i cant go some place and learn by hands on instruction
  everyone here has been helpful
 thanks again for the support
