Greetings from a total Newbie.
My interests (addictions) are electronics and specifically the construction of clocks using obsolete technology such as Nixie Tubes.
I want to build cases for my clocks and my main idea is to cut them out from suitably sized blocks of wood using a CNC router.
A couple of weeks ago I got a small machine (3040) and am just starting to play with it.
I have a small (3040!) machine connected to a PC. I am using USBCNC to drive it and I am building gCode using something called 'SimpleCNC' which seems to allow me to do exactly what I want without having to come to terms with 3D modelling applications (which I have tried and failed with!).
My ideas are simple, I know what I want to achieve and I believe I have the right tools to do it.
My initial query will be all about bits, spindle and feed speeds (I expect this is a common one) so I will make sure I head over to what might be the right section and post my query.
I look forward to sharing my progress with you all (however small it is!).
Thank you.
