Thats cool Jerry. Man the next town over. I didn't think anyone one that close was into cnc's. Ive seen your user name in different threads alot and never knew.

[CJL5585]

Maybe we can get togather and have some coffee and chew the fat about our CNC plans.

I am not too far from Hickory..... I am currently in the process of converting my X3 to CNC

[CJL5585]

I have been there, but can't recall where it's located off the top of my head. Somewhere below Winston Salem and Greensboro and not quite down to Concord maybe.

If you need assistance on the transformer (other thread) send me the specs on your transformer, drives, and motors and I will calculate it out for you.

CNCRob, now that your wedding is part of history, are there still plans for a NC CNC BBQ???

HayTay, I'm building a cnc router for sign making and also for hobby use. I have a friend machining my parts for exchange of help doing the computer work on his cnc plasma cutter. Where you work in sanford? I have an office in the penical building across the street from hams. I have found a ton of parts over at lee iron and metal, but you can only go there from 12:15 - 12:45 now.

HayTay,
Where you work in sanford?

I work for Imaging Supplies Co., Inc. Maybe a half mile from you up Horner Blvd., on the same side of the street, across from Bojangles and Hardees.

The heck with Alltel, a couple of tin cans and a string and we'd be all set.

:cheers:,

Isn't it pretty cool when you find out someone is fairly close to you and you never knew it. I think so far Beone is the closet to me. He only lives a few miles away. As for the NC CNC BBQ; I would probably still be up for it if anyone has any ideals.

When I was an apprentice, we used to make parts for a local vault company. They would send over boxes with several hundred drills in them for resharpening. I was able to learn in high school to hand sharpen drills so I got the job of grinding all the drills for these guys. As the years went by and the shop grew I trained the other guys in the shop. Eventually, when you started on a job and went to collect all the tools you would need, you would grab your drills and grind them without even checking if they were sharp or not. Just so you knew they were sharp when you started. The guy who I worked for has been the manager of a cutter grinding shop in England before he opened up in Canada and he taught me what he knew about grinding tools. That became one of my most valuble skills and grinding a custom tool for a job was often a great time saver. (oops wrong thread!)
