Welcome to the forum Gary. Just a heads up that your intro says you're from Scunthorpe UK, but you're flying the Stars and Stripes as you must have selected USA somewhere.

Thanks Andy and Kit. I’m looking forward to producing some nice wooden bits. I have one of the Chinese laser and routers. I’ve mastered the laser part of it just struggling with the router part. I’ve got my project to the machine but when I try to cut it out it just moves right down to the bottom left and just keeps running.
What machines do you have ?

Hi Ericka
What machine do you have and how are you getting on with it?

I used to have a 6040 with parallel port control. Recently i completed a build of a bigger machine. I am using UC300eth and uccnc. The machine works extremely well...i use it on aluminium no problem and also to cut steel plate when i make control panels:)

Hi Ericka
I have a 30x18 cm I’ve just ordered some limit switches. I didn’t realise I needed them . Every time I go to cut it shoots down to bottom left hand corner. I think it’s looking for the limits.
