Hi Ericka
What machine do you have and how are you getting on with it?

I used to have a 6040 with parallel port control. Recently i completed a build of a bigger machine. I am using UC300eth and uccnc. The machine works extremely well...i use it on aluminium no problem and also to cut steel plate when i make control panels:)

Hi Ericka
I have a 30x18 cm I’ve just ordered some limit switches. I didn’t realise I needed them . Every time I go to cut it shoots down to bottom left hand corner. I think it’s looking for the limits.

It’s one of the Chinese ones off eBay. It has the Grbl controller on it . It seems to be ok for what I need it for at the moment . I’m planning on cutting little wooden shapes for crafting.

I am sure someone here can help you with the Grbl controller....i have never worked on them.

Enjoy your cnc, they are great fun:)
