I've been working on a CAM software tool because i don't like cloud based software (they yank feature away) or the freecad which is buggy.

It's been a fun journey adding features! I'd love to hear which features to add next. I'll look for an appropriate place here to ask. Any suggestions? ]]> New Member Introductions TheRainHarvester on YouTu https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16055-Hi-there%21 https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16052-Howdy?goto=newpost Thu, 05 Feb 2026 06:34:45 GMT I'm a woodworker - I have been working with CNC router machines for a few years now ]]> New Member Introductions Fuscous https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16052-Howdy https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16050-New-member?goto=newpost Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:54:04 GMT Alrgiht?, I only recently went into the hobby of CNC and I need some starter help.

I only recently went into the hobby of CNC and I need some starter help. I thought this forum looked easy to navigate and more importantly there actually people posting and

replying :)

I already have two FDM and one resin 3D printers (cheap one's) and it naturally came to me to try a bit of CNC.

I am not an engineer, but I really like dealing with machines...puts a smile on my face.

Big fan of MTB, or pretty much anything on wheels with human power behind it.

Visual arts: comic books, pretty stickers, concept art....always catches my eye as well.

Anyhow, see you in my first thread with a question. ;) ]]> New Member Introductions PLAHI https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16050-New-member https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16045-%CE%9D%CE%AD%CE%BF-%CE%9C%CE%AD%CE%BB%CE%BF%CF%82-%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%BF-%CE%95%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%AC%CE%B4%CE%B1?goto=newpost Sun, 18 Jan 2026 14:13:39 GMT Γεια σας.
Ονομάζομαι Νίκος.
Είμαι συνταξιούχος επιπλοποιός από την Ελλάδα.
Έχω ένα ιδιοκατασκευής cnc με ωφέλιμο χώρο εργασίας Χ=30 Υ= 30 Ζ= 20 εκ.
στο οποίο έχω προσθέση και 4=ο άξονα.
Ασχολούμαι από χόμπι με ξύλινα διακοσμητικά και γενικώς με ξυλοκατασκευές.
Xρησιμοποιώ το Vectric Aspire ως σχεδιαστικό αλλά και για εξαγωγή του κώδικα για το MACH.
Έχω αρχίσει και διαβάζω τα διάφορα θέματα που ανεβάζετε και σιγά -σιγά ευελπιστώ να γνωριστούμε.

Εύχομαι τα καλύτερα για όλους σας.

I am a retired furniture maker from Greece.
I have a self-made cnc with a usable working area of ​​X=30 Y=30 Z=20 cm.

I am interested in wooden decorations and woodworking in general as a hobby.
I use Vectric Aspire as a design tool and also to export the code for MACH.
I have started reading the various topics you upload and I slowly hope to get to know you.

I wish you all the best. ]]> New Member Introductions NikosR https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16045-%CE%9D%CE%AD%CE%BF-%CE%9C%CE%AD%CE%BB%CE%BF%CF%82-%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%BF-%CE%95%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%AC%CE%B4%CE%B1 https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16036-Hi-from-Church-Gresley-Derbyshire?goto=newpost Tue, 06 Jan 2026 11:37:35 GMT Hi, newbie here, my name is Ray I am 77 years old.

I am glad to join this forum as I am going to need help with building my own CNC router, but mainly creating software etc;

I am a retired Mechanical Engineer, with lots of knowledge of Electricity and Electronics. I have been building and repairing guitars for some 20 years now, sadly arthritic has caught up with me, so I have decided I need a CNC router to help me build my Guitar bodies and parts.

Best Regards.

I hope you are all well.
My name is Chris.
I manufacture racing motorcycle parts.
I have been building my own cnc machines for the last 17 years (when time and funds allow).
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has given their time and experience to posting on this and other forums.
I have learned so much from the experiences of others.
I will do my best not to ask stupid questions. (Can’t promise anything though)[emoji16]

Returning to all things machining after a 4 year change of scenery and reckon this might be a good place to call upon as the memory refreshes.
12 years turn, mill/turn experience across material handling, quarry and mining, aerospace military and defence sectors. Have landed a machine shop position starting in the new year. Never got the full tour at interview stage but I believe there are 3 Mills and 3 lathes (1 flatbed). No runners here, alot of 1offs and less than 10offs. Setup and program heavy but perfect for me to get back into it.
Really looking forward to it. Coming from 7 years of imperial dimensions which was a pain in the ass converting from 5 years of metric, hopefully the transition this time is smooth. I know, 1st world problems right?

Have been revising all G and M codes, canned cycles etc particulary milling operations as its not something I ever had the opportunity to do before but am pretty sure i'll get plenty of VMC time in the new role.

Any advice from anyone who also had some time away and returned to the shop floor, i'm all ears. Thanks guys ]]> New Member Introductions Firing_Pin_King https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16033-Back-in-the-game%21
