    Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.

    Hey, been in the game as a contractor designer/programmer/operator for many years but decided to take the plunge this year (great timing haha) to go out on my own proper. Acquired a MHI VMC and Mori Seiki lathe as I have a thing for MIJ equipped with Fanuc however have done plenty of time on Hass and a Meldas equipped unit.

    Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.

    Hey everyone. I recently picked up a Phoenix-EZ CNC Woodlathe. I got the machine only. The guy selling it knew nothing about it. I have a little background with CNC machinery as I went to college for Mechanical engineering (tool and die). I also worked in a cnc machine shop for a bit after getting my diploma. Yes a diploma as I attended college in Canada. Here in Canada, college is for dummies! Lol. Anyway I now have this wood lathe. I powered it up and everything seems to work ok. I’m willing to spend a little money on getting the cnc part working. I picked up a computer running windows 7 at the moment. I was going to order a parallel port card or USB adapter for it so I can connect the computer to the machine. I’m kinda lost here though. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated. I did post in one of the threads but it was very old (2007 2008) and I never received any response. If all else fails, I guess I could make a tool rest for it and just use it manually.

    Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.

    hello there. been a long time reader, i built(converted) my first CNC 10 years ago. i then proceeded to build a 48X48 laser cutter.
    i am working on a plasma cutter build for a friend of mine, i count in using it to build a 36X36 cnc router.

    i did not enjoy the metal cnc machining, i have too much of an ADHD problem to wait that long. the laser cutting really suits my fancy; its quick work and quick results. from concept to finished project within an hour.

    Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.

    Hello all, I'm a newbie to CNC, just getting my feet wet with a CNC plasma build.
    I'm a wood and metal worker so I wanted to add CNC cutting capabilities to my hobby shop.
    Currently struggling with getting Fusion 360 and GRBL to work together.

    Groundhog I pray you can get people smiling. It is surely what we need. Congrats on your retiring. I have not gotten into laser as of yet. But i do have a small CNC router. Just starting to get back into it. Retiring is on my mind. I currently program robots. I am now looking forward to programming my CNC Router. But having a hard time choosing Cam Software. Any Suggestions?:banana:

    Re: Welcome thread-tell us about you.

    hy al-the-man a few days ago i saw that you replied in this thread, and i wondered why, because you are arround here for a while, or so loooong, so i was curious if you decided to re/introduce yourself, etc

    but, after reading the " last news ", it took me a few days to figure it out that i also (really) need a dead 3040t ... to bring it to life, or something

    an analytical mind will shadow the heart / kindly
