    Hi,
    I'm a computer programmer with interests in engineering, woodwork, electronics, embedded systems etc.

    I've been interested in CNC for a while both as a means to expand my engineering and woodwork hobbies and also as the 'ultimate' computer peripheral.

    I've currently got a rough and ready 'Rockliffe' design which is using 'proper' linear slides and acme screws.

    I'm also considering the purchase and conversion of an X3 milling machine...

    Steve.

    Thanks all for your kind welcome. I've posted pics in the relevant section - along with the relevant excuses ;)

    I converted an X3 really happy with it now, after a lot of problems with Gecko's and servo motors. Still I have modifications to do but they are minor.
