Howdy peeps
I am brand new to the cnc world , I found this forum and it looks like it'll be a big help when I start asking a whole bunch of questions so dumb they are bound to lower your IQ just from reading them .
Anyway , the shut down has me unemployed and bored as heck .
So I decided that instead of spending my stimulus money on crack and hookers I'd find me a new hobby .
I bought a brand spanking new taig 5019 ball screw cnc mill .
You might ask why , heck if I know. It seemed like a good idea .
What do I want to make ? Yet another good question I don't have an answer for . Unless wanting to make a fortune is a good answer .
Do I have any machining experience?
Well yes I do , I have a grizzly g0602 lathe and a g0704 mill .
And I've even used them a few times .
Ok , ok , I know what you all are already thinking .. this guys an idiot .
Point taken I may very well be an idiot .
I just spent $2995 on a mill I don't have a clue on how to use .
And I don't have two more dollars to rub together to buy any tooling or accessories for it .
But that doesn't matter , I downloaded fusion and after 5 hours I can't even make a square box
So yea .. who needs tools .
I guess it may be odd for a new guy to say this , but I don't even have a single question yet .
Well to be honest , I don't know what kind of questions I should have because all I know about cnc is that I have a mill on a ups truck somewhere on its way to me .
Not the most thought out plan in the universe I guess .
But hey I'm here and thought I'd say howdy .
