electrical engineer retiring in a couple of months

Welcome to the forum Rob, there's lots of useful information and people on here. Have a look through the builds, decide what you want to cut, how big you actually need it (we'd all like to cut 8' x 4' sheets) and then post up a design for all to look at and comment on. Most importantly don't buy anything, especially electronics, until your design is finished. Good luck...

Rob, you are starting from a good place. Many people on this forum build great mechanical bits, but struggle with the electrickery - there are a lot of intricate little details that have to be right, software properly configured, etc. I reckon it's easier to pick up the mechanical skills than the other way around. There's plenty of help on all aspects here, but it's easier if you start with an insight into the wiggly amps! Good luck.
