Was originally a Semi-skilled engineer/machinist/toolmaker for 18 years then retrained to IT about 14 years ago.

Last few years as machinist career I spent on a NC lathe and before that I had some experience setting up multi tool station CNC mills for production and some real basic programming i.e. just making changes to speed up movements etc. Started playing with Fusion 360 a few weeks ago but has not helped and I had to get myself an early Xmas present to satisfy the craving to play with CAD/CAM and CNC

Just bought a 3040T to play with but unfortunately developed a fault on its Z drive which is in another post on here http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/13235...Z-drive-issues
