Hi All,
Just new to the fun, had a non-functional CNC mill ( 6040 ) for about 15 years, of which for 14 years, 11 months it was a shelf ornament. Finally fixed it up and got it working under USB on Win10, and realized how many pitfalls I hit along the way.
Is there any local compendium of collected knowledge to help new people like myself avoid making the same mistakes others before them have? From little things like configuring keys on Mach3, to which breakout boards do and don't work, to where to get local supplies and suggestions?
So I was wondering if anyone had compiled all of this into a FAQ somewhere to give people a head start when building their first CNC machine.
Thanks
David.
