Hi there, I'm Si from the Midlands.
I've been lurking here for a while, normally searching for tech advice on retrofits and such.
My main hobby area is cars. Classics, yanks, hotrods, customs etc. currently having a 1932 Ford hotrod and a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS. The other aspect of my interest is CNC and machining. I'm definitely no engineer but i've always had a fixation on computer controlled stuff.

To date, all i've really done (in this realm of things) is converted an old Boxford CUD to be CNC controlled. It's not necessarily pretty but it's functional :D
I've recently picked up a Boxford 125 TCL and a Boxford 260 VMC so they're the new projects to upgrade to more modern electronics. They're also the reason why i've just registered as it's some more specific advice on those that i'm needing.

Anyway, that's my intro, hopefully you won't mind me getting into the questions ?
Thanks,
Si
