Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster.
I'm pretty excited at my first foray into CNC. I'm a hobby machinist and I've had manual Lathes and Mills for 20 years but in recent years been keen on moving into CNC.
I just picked up a Lagun FTV-2 with a ProtoTRAK MX2 conversion. Its in good shape for its age, everything works and the MX2 is pretty easy to drive for a newbie like me. It's only 2 axis but I figure it'll be good enough for the majority of work I do.
One of the things I like about it is I can still run it like my old manual mill. The MX2 controller is old and has it's limitations but the conversational programming seems pretty easy to use.
I'll start getting it installed and setting it up this weekend and hopefully be able to post some pics.
Cheers
Mike
