Hello all,
I am finally at a point that I can say " It's done".
It's been a year since I started this and without the help of some of ya, It would have never been completed.
All three axis are operating smooth, and everything seems to be working great.
I bought the SheetCam and Mach 2 package and some bits this morning.
My starting budget was a grand and i ended up just shy of 1400.00
I've been playing with the software and I have alot to learn, I thought the building would be the tuff part....simple compared to the software learning.
I'm starting out by writing the code from scratch and watching what happens. I figured it's the best way to learn the cam stuff if you know what the code means to begin with.
I uploaded some pics for ya to take a gander at but they are kinda big.
There are some pics of my er stubby chuck there as well. A sweet piece of tooling.
Now I'll be hanging out in the Mach2 forum asking a bunch of simple questions.
here are the big pics:

Thanks again everyone!
