I was talking with a friend the other day who is starting to get in to CNC work and only found out about it as a career because of me. So I'm wondering how everyone else came in to it.
I myself started CNC in high school there was a 2x2 Precix table stuffed in a corner not being used. I asked what it was and when I found out I could mix my two loves (computers and woodworking) I went all out. I spent about 8 months going to school on my sat. with my shop teacher to get the machine in working order. By the time I graduated there was a full cnc program in place and I go back about 2 times a month to tutor kids.
So thats my story what about everyone else?
