Hello all

I've recently joined the world of home CNC with my purchase of an Inventables X-Carve. My experiences with it haven't been overly positive but I'm in the process of upgrading it to make it somewhat useable.

I tried to dip into the CNC world a few years ago but costs were prohibitive for me then, fast forward a few years and now I'm snapping carbides and burning HSS to my hearts desire.

A bit about me, I'm a materials science PhD student working on high resolution electron microscopy, I enjoy making stuff as a hobby, I'm currently limited to wood and aluminium but eventually hope to get a knee mill and lathe to do some metalworking.

Looking forward to digging around this place, looks like a bit of a goldmine!
