Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.
Hi,
I'm Karl, just bought a Workbee CNC from China and like to get some help to run my new CNC.
Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.
Hello!
I'm a hobbyist that just bought a small chinese 3018 CNC a month ago.
I have no experience in this new area but hope to be able to share my enthousiasm with all at least!
My hobbies are mostly electronics, mechanics and 3D printing. I hope my small CNC will be able to complement the 3D printer to make boxes for electronics and some mechanical parts in soft material.
English is not my mothertongue as you certainly noticed! :)
So I just registered and hover on the many groups here and I don't know if I'll live longer enough to read all the interesting subjects in this forum :confused:
All the best to everybody!
Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.
Hi everybody,
I am fairly new to the CNC world as I was introduced to my first CNC router at my old workplace about a year ago.
I went to school for an IT degree, and then went on to a master's degree in 3d modeling and animation. Unfortunately, this type of 3d modeling (mesh modeling using Maya or 3dsMax) is completely different than CAD modeling.
Once I started learning how to use a CNC router, it became an addiction. I love it! And I began to wonder if I went to school for the wrong thing.
I am now building my own CNC foam router for use in my garage. I'm hoping to start up a small business making all sorts of cool stuff.
I recently made an 8 foot tall Incredible Hulk out of foam. Since I was using a 3 axis router which cut from only one direction, the top, I had to slice up the Hulk model into about 200 pieces in my 3d modeling program, so that the router could mill all the details I was wanting, and then I slowly pieced him together. It was a fun project and it could not have been better as a crash course for me in the world of cnc routers.
I wasn't expecting for my project to become what it became, but my Hulk was featured in this year's Salt Lake FanX convention (Comic Con), and he was just purchased last week by the FanX owners for enough money for me to fund my CNC router build.
The local news did an article on it, for anyone who'd like to see pictures of the foam Hulk.

I hope to learn a lot from you folks as I search through these forums for all the info I need to build my router. Thanks for having me!

Hi, i work in a subcontract machine shop by day and am machining a set of castings to make a road going steam traction engine by night, I got a Bridgeport turret mill and a clochester 2500 master,
my new addition to the garage is a Fanuc T10 A Robodrill, gotta get it cleaned up and make it look tidy while I wait for the 3 phase to be fit to the garage,
i hope i bring something to the table!
Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.
Not sure if this is the right way to post a question? I am a woodworker with a year 2000 komo vr510 machIII. We just changed out our y drive and cleaned out the contractors on the x and z drives. With all the drives in ready mode, I am getting a 1352 alarm. Spindle stopped sensor fault. Can someone help me clear this alarm? Any information would be appreciated.
Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.
Hi, I'm a small shop owner, couple Haas and the usual others. I'm interested in the manufacturing history of the U.S. (and the world actually) because I'm constantly astonished what people were able to make without all of the technology we have at our fingertips. Hit me up if you want to talk about running a business or old school manuifacturing (Hardinge, Landis, Bridgeport, that kind of stuff)
