Hello all

[1dr1**]

Hi everyone i'm Dave from Kent, UK a mechanical engineer by trade.

This forum has really caught my eye, the CNC builds on here are excellent and I am planning to spec a plasma table build then put it to work, in time I will be looking for electronics & software package recommendations from the excellent members here as thats not my thing and I prefer to listen to the voices of experience!

I have seen candcnc & mach 3 as having pretty good reputations, any other options that you would like to recommend that are robust and suited to a UK location?


Anyway Hello! I will be around for a bit........

Hello Dave
I Live in Luton Bedfordshire, I too am looking to make a start with a CNC Router for wood ,possibly making toys for Christmas as starters , where did you see the CNC demonstrations . We've missed the Exhibition at the NEC, that would have been good , do you know of any where else where they demonstrate. All the Best desmo11225

Hi and welcome to the forum the post you are referring to is nearly 3 years old and the guy has only posted once.

Thank You CliveS. I should have known better and looked at the date posted, I have been using a welding forum for ages so there is no excuse really.
Any how ,do you know where we could see a wood working cnc router working some where around here or point me in the right direction .
I think that in the future we will need to know about CNC Machines , we have a very large work shop which is being gradually renovated, so there is plenty of room .
Thank You for Your Reply. desmo11225

if you can manage a run upto Harogate. it's been a lot of years since i have been but if you check the demonstrators there might be something of interest.
