Hi Guys,

Was wondering if there are any hobbyists in the SE Qld area around Browns Plains to the Jimboomba area? That may have a CNC Router or CNC Mill that might be willing to assist me with cutting some parts for a CNC Lathe Mill project I am working on.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Mate,
I am at Kallangur, just going through the process of converting both a x2 Mill and a C2 Lathe to CNC

Cheers

Hi John,

Good to hear from you.

Apart from a mate of mine in Stafford on the North Side (not cnc just lathe), there doesn't seem to be very many in this cnc/hobby?

Have you just started or have you been collecting parts and components for a while learning as you go like me.

I've been slowly accumulating for over a year.

That HM-46 CNC'd is what I would like to have as my Mill when I can afford it.

I've been drawing up various parts that I need to make to be able to CNC the various axis. One good thing about taking my time is that I get time (lots) to think about the best way to accomplish what I would like to achieve with my particular lathe, some pictures in this thread here

From where do you hail, Eric?

Hi,

Sorry about not replying sooner. I changed email addresses earlier this year and totally forgot to update the details on cnczone. I've fixed the email details this morning so shouldn't be a problem in the future.

I replied via PM last night. I'm still keen to help anyone who is interested in CNC machines.

Regards

Hi cncholic

Thank you kindly for the offer. Where abouts in down the Southern Gold Coast are you?
Are your your mills cnc controlled and I assume the router is cnc?
What do you mainly use your machines for?
