I have been a CNC machinist for 20 Yrs. and plan to retire in a few more Yrs. I hope to build a cnc plasma table to make parts . I hope to get the info I need here on this site.

Hello every one. I have spent a lot of time on the forums and finally decided to participate! My name is Trevor Ruhl and I am an artist from Portland Oregon. I went to school for manufacturing and decided to get me a ZenBot and start a company. I am really new and welcome all the help. In the mean time I am building up a portfolio and a blog at Up Wood Working | Old wood, New ideas.

I look forward to seeing you in the forums.

Hi all,
Built a CNC Foam Cutter several years ago to cut R/C airplane parts for my designs.
Now looking into 3D Printing and adding a laser to my upcoming Rostock MAX to laser cut balsa wood as well.
Cheers!

Hi

My names Alex, I'm a CNC newbie but busily on my way to constructing my first machine...just have to get Christmas and New year out of the way and then construction can begin in earnest.

The frame is solid aluminium rather than profile , with a bed size of 1000mm by 800mm and a z-axis of 300mm ( to allow for future addition of 4th axis)...Once construction starts i will get a thread going on its progress.

cheers

Alex

Good Morning to all, My name is brian from california. Currently im a student working to get his bachelors degree in engineering technology. I plan on getting or building a small cnc mill for the garage, i had worked as an intern in a aerospace cnc shop and have had experience using a tormach 1100 at school and some cnc routers as well as manual mill and lathes. I hae 2 AS degrees from a JC in Engineering Design Technology as well as Manufacturing Technology.

Hi all,
I'm a watch enthusiast who has decided that I want to build my own watch cases as a hobby. That being said, beyond the traditional case shaping methods using lathes, I have joined CNCZONE to hopefully get some insight into how I can incorporate a CNC machine of some sort into my eventual case building setup.

TTYL,

Floyd

I was looking thru the list of users and was shocked to see that 3/5th or more of the members have ZERO posts.

I'd like to say WELCOME to all the new members, and to the old members that haven't posted.

I'd also like to extend an offer for you all to chime in and say hullo, mayhaps tell us what you do, how you're involved in CNC etc. We'd love to hear from you!!

Hi all.
I'm a UK-based 1964-vintage male with a small business selling vegan footwear made by factories in the UK.
I don't have a lot of concentration or workshop space, but dabble in thoughts about manufacturing footwear belts and bags, including CNC techniques.
I do a little home manufacturing of belts.
I try to keep track of UK shoe factories as suppliers and have been bought small batches of shoes off one or two of them for a decade or more -
I have a list of footwear factories in the UK on http://bit.ly/shoefactories

To reduce lead times, I'd quite like to cut my own upper material and maybe cut some for bags as well, so cheap or free nesting programs to reduce waste could be useful, even if I cut the material by hand from a suggested pattern on a screen - I can probably make templates to cut-around with a stanley knife. I already cut belt straps in the kitchen with a razer-blade holder and special pliers. As I write, I am just beginning experiements with a large carpenter's vice to use as a press for cutting all the belt strap holes in one go and am looking for tubular cutters: partmaster has a minimum order of £50!

I know that footwear CAD software is rediculously expensive although there are a couple of free demo versions for playing with that won't save; I haven't yet had the patience to play and find out what they do. Traditionally, footwear CAD CAM for leather upper cutting has been rare because leather hydes have blemishes to them and irregular thickness, but I use a 2mm microibre material which makes things easier. I can also sell it by the meter.

Some time I might experiment with 3D printing for plastic footwear soles. First I might try casting aluminium around the shape of an existing sole and working out how to get it made into a proper plastic mould, because I think aluminium moulds are about £3,000 a pair per size. I have details somewhere of someone who makes them out of resin and fibreglass, but those moulds don't last so long. I have an idea that modern ovens often have a self-clean setting that might be hotter than the melting point of aluminium, but I haven't checked my facts on this yet.

Some time I might experiment with CAM-cutting for sheet material. There is a jobbing lazer-cut company close to me - I think there is a list of London lazer cutting services somewhere on the net - so the first stage is to get a neat file that I can send them to get a quote.

I also wrote a blog about my failure to set-up a Drupal based shopping cart to sell shoes, awkwardly called veg-buildlog.blogspot.co.uk . There is a post about trying to find nesting software - if nto strictly CNC software - for next to nothing called setting-up shop in Drupal: Nesting software for next to nothing to use with free legal downloads of Adobe Illustrator CS2

My own shoe shop, still old-school html as I write and without stock control, is on http://veganline.com and sells vegan shoes online.

hi, I write from Italy and recently I have a 6040 Chinese, before I had a self-built but the dremel could do little work. I am married and have a son but does not follow my interests (25 years ago and rightly so) I apologize for the bad use I make of lihgua English. Greetings to all and a Happy 2015
