Hi Folks,

I've been doing CNC plasma work for several years now. Mostly Aircraft Weathervanes and such. I have a Smithy Granite 1324 which meets most of my mill and lathe requirements. However, I would like to convert it to CNC. The Smithy is pre drilled to accept stepper motors and I already have a FlashCut Controller and CadLink software for programming. As I start to make the transition, I'll likely be posting some question with hopes of gaining some insights from those of you who actually know what you are doing.

I've also built my own powder coat oven 80cuft. and sandblasting cabinet.

I also make a few sailboat parts but I'm certainly not a manfacturer.

Glen
