I have been browsing the forum for a while now and have found it very useful. i thought it was about time posted a hello !
I am a sign maker from South London (UK). I currently run an old Gerber system 48 ( AR400 ) cnc router, which I use for cutting acrylic/plexiglas, ACM and MDF. I have been thinking about updating the drives and motors for a while so I can run more up to date software and produce more 2.5/3D work. Another project I have thought about is to fabricate a vacuum table ( bed size 1200mm x 1200mm ) to hold down work.
As well as browsing the forums I'd be interested to know of any CNC service engineers based around London and the South East with reasonable rates. I would also like to know where I might possibly be able to get my hands on a Superior Electric M091-FD-6213 (nema34 size) 1.8v -4.7A 200step/1.8deg 150oz / 1.0nm stepper motor.

Thanks again for a great site !
