Hi All,
Just thought i'd make my 1st post and introduce myself and ask a few questions.
I'm Tim Prevett,i live in Devon and work as a welder/fabricator for a local engineering company
I have an interest in composite R/C gliders and i would like to machine some moulds for the wings and fuselage instead of making them by hand.
I bought some CNC gear a few years back,but i never got round to doing anything with it.I bought 3 of these stepper motors http://uk.farnell.com/astrosyn/281/stepper-motor-1-8deg-3v/dp/9598669
and a compucut system.Anyone got any experience with this system?
I want to build a router table with a travel of about 6' x 2' for machining MDF,Plastics and maybe Ali.Would the motors that i've got be powerful enough to run a machine like this?
Has anyone got any links to useful links to the sort of software i'll need for drawing and machining 3d stuff?
Cheers
Tim
