i am in the fort worth area and would apreciate an invitation to any user groups in our area.
Charlie with North Texas CNC group is in Fort Worth.
You may buy Aspire 3 through Bob Campbell he may give you discount as there are no sales....unless you are upgrading.
I live in the Sachse area and would be interesting in future meetings. I am currently in sponge / information gathering mode, trying learn as much as I can.
Thanks..
Kenny
Good to see the group coming to life again. Anyone up for another meeting sometime soon? I figure some Saturday soon we could meet for lunch again.
And I know Charlie is trying to organize a workshop at a school out in Ft Worth in the near future.
I am in Paris, and it was something somewhat close I would love to attend.

I am in Plano you are welcome to come by.
Howdy all.
Lets see if we can stir some life into this thread again.
My shop has expanded by adding two lathes. Seems I out grew the first lathe with the first project. Go figure. :)
I'm also picking up more customers and it seems the designs I've posted are getting a bit of attention and people are wanting me to bring designs to reality. All great news since having paying customers helps support my shop. The bad news is, I'm but one person, have a day job and not enough time to do every thing.
With that said, It's time for another meet up!
Does the first Saturday of May work? Addison? Jakes Burgers?
I know at one time we had started a mailing list for the group here in North Dallas. And, nope, I sure don't remember what it is. :)
Post/email/etc for those interested in meeting up again.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for posting the email!
The NTCNCUG guys have a mailing list too that everyone should be on.
ntcncug : NTCNCUG
Anyway, I haven't gotten much done but I did manage to finally buy Aspire a week ago. My first 3D cut was a total disaster so we're trying to figure out what's wrong and where, then fixing all the issues. I also moved to the Precise Bits collet for my Hitachi M12VC.
Upcoming community projects: Finish up the new NTCNCUG website on Wordpress and launch it. Get with the Dallas MakerSpace people and get them interacting regularly with the Dallas CNC community. Hopefully, get a community BBQ together at Phoenix's house in Irving and try to make it a regular event.
offtopic, but i need someone with a 4'x4' or larger cnc router to cut mdf for me on a regular basis.. anyone interested? I need someone close to dallas!
give me shout. PM sentQuote:
