Hi,

My name is Fabio,I am new in the world of CNC . I work with modeling and make molds with Renshape . I do not have much knowledge about it. And I intend to acquire new experiences with the members here .

Hello, I'm from Kielce, Poland. Programing CNC is my primary job and I think here is the best place to learn and share ideas.

Hi, I'm Geoff from Salisbury UK, I've been working professionally on CNC machines since 1988, mostly Heidenhain controls, though a few Fanuc/Siemens-Gcode systems, I'm a toolmaker by trade, I've worked contract basis all over Europe, but now I've settled back in the UK and have recently bought a cheap Chinese 3020 CNC Router to have a play 'down the shed' I'll probably upgrade/strengthen it in time, I'd like to make Aluminium signs, wall plaques with it but at the moment I'm still just getting my head around it's weaknesses, since I'm more used to industrial CNCs, apart from what appears to be a plastic leadscrew nut on Z axis which causes the Z to not repeat as I'd expect it seems to be suitable for what I have in mind, I'll soon get a set of ER11 collets and raid the stores at work for some suitable carbide! I'll keep you all posted on the progress or lack of it

Hello everyone, Rudy in Quakertown PA. Special hello to Geoff in Salisbury, as I too just bought a small Chinese mill, mine's a 4030. First thing I bought a replacement spindle motor the same diameter 450watt instead of the really wimpy 200w it came with. Mach3 runs it ok, and I bought artcam express and a bunch of chinese bits and some mdf and hduf , total spent (650+200+200+100+100) about $1250. I've found out that this is a toy, but I'm not disappointed, that's exactly why I bought it. Learning mach3, and mastering artcam are skills that are worth $1250.
Overall I'm pleased with the 4030, it's the "improved" one, and rigidity of the aluminum frame is nice. I have carved reliefs that took hours, the electronics has held up so far. I want to go to an even bigger spindle, but the mechanics of the clamp make this difficult. In the last month I've had lots of fun, learned a lot, and made a lot of dust. Hope you like yours.

I'm Ian, and I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineer (along with a few other degrees) who is building a CNC machine that is based off of Joe's CNC Evolution that has a 5' x 10' work area at my local hackerspace.

My primary knowledge and focus area has been computers over the last ten or so years, but, I do still understand a fair amount of my EE beginnings.

I'm primarily looking for more troubleshooting, guidance, and conversation with regards to CNC machines as I move from my big one here at the Hackerspace, to a smaller one at my home (and a plasma cutter at my farm).

Hi everyone! I'm Saskia from The Netherlands. I just bought a laser cutter/engraver (yes the cheap chinese one) to experiment. However, I do have some questions so that's why I'm here

[mermaldad]

Hey everyone,

I'm the mermaldad (it's a long story), and I'm just starting out with CNC. For me, CNC is more of a means to an end, as my primary aim is to be able to make stuff quicker/better. I'm a mechanical engineer, working with my son, an electrical engineering student. We decided on building a CNC router to 1) help out our various hobbies, and 2) give him a challenge for his senior design project.

I'm an engineer, and just started at a new job here in North Central Illinois. We do our own fabrication, in production based environment. We aren't a machine shop.

I'm here at the suggestion of a rep from BobCAD... Mostly to look for someone that does freelance programming.

We have a seat of BobCAD that we've used to program our HAAS in the past, but currently there's nobody with that expertise.

I'm looking forward to learning this in the coming months, and this forum sounds like a great place to learn.

Thanks!
