It was m_c' s post with a link to his conversion post that helped me & should help others.

If it's close enough then I would say definitely worth a visit, as Stuart says the frame is a serious bit of kit so think about that for lifting & transporting. From the description the guy has...

Maybe you could ask if any member on the forum who is nearish to you would mind you paying them a visit which would give you a better idea about noise levels.
How well you get on with next door &...

You can download trial versions of all the vectric software for evaluation prior to buying & they all have sample files you can cut on your own machine, sorry don't have anything suitable myself as...

Funny enough I looked at that when it was sitting at £400 & thought who would spend that sort of money on a machine with so little detail & one crappy photo.
So what's changed your mind? You were...

Best of luck with it Greg, remember to take your test metre with you this time lol, if it fires up all you need to do then is get your head round the software which shouldn't be to difficult as your...

Greg, I would see if you can get the machine running as it is rather than start ripping it to bits to be honest, if it is a simple fix as is then it will save you a lot of time & the guy money. You...

Welcome to the forum, if you still need to buy a power supply for those drivers then as Jonathan has said you would be better off with a higher voltage, think those will run up to 50v unless your...

Matt, I suspect your right about the one seller using multiple ebay names, has been mentioned before either on this forum or another. Lack of a reply may be down to them being away at the moment....

Welcome to the forum, lots of useful advice on the site & some very knowledgeable people.

Try doing a search on the forum, someone asked a question like this not that long ago & there were some good explanations given.

Geofrey, I'm new to the site as well but have seen this sort of thing tried before & never successfully because it does cause a lot of problems. Biggest problem with the internet is that there is no...

Yep as has been said already, thanks to those who have helped me during 2012 & may you continue to help me in 2013 lol

Best wishes for Christmas & a healthy & prosperous 2013 to all.

Welcome to the forum Karl, don't worry you will soon get the hang of it. Biggest problem with internet forums is that there is no body language & no tone so sometimes what someone says is interpreted...

When you say unbroken geometries Geofrey do you mean open shapes as in not all the nodes are closed? If that is the case you should be able to close the shapes with a single mouse click but that...

Apart from what Jonathan has said the other thing I was thinking is what sort of size are the cases you want to cut panels out of, if you are talking about a flat piece like the removable side of a...

So do you get anything at all if you do try plugging it in? There are a few posts on here about the machines if you try a search but most of them will relate to converting them to run with more up to...

Welcome to the forum Robert, good luck with the cnc venture.

Best to just pencil me in Max, not sure just how much use I will be but I am sure someone will be able to think of something.

Some people think it's a good idea to start collecting parts as & when they can afford them having a good idea in their head how the machine will be built. If you read through the build logs you will...

Expensive learning curve I know but look at it that way & I am sure before to long it is up & running & making you some of that money back, try not to let it get you down to much, we all make...

Paul, don't know if this is a possibility but worth an email at least. I use a program for signmaking called vinylmaster. When I first started looking into building a cnc I emailed them because there...

Welcome to the forum Blackbirds, new here myself but I have already learnt that there are at least 2 other people on the forum in the Edinburgh area. Michael is one of them but you will know that as...
