CM,

My wife hails from Wigan - it's funny but on all the CNC forums, I had not found anyone else from the Northwest of England, you're the first to admit it :D

I won't post the whole of my build here but can include a link to it, it is: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6840 It is all but complete and really what I need to do now is to move it from school into my new workshop and start doing some serious work. I've had a few problems with my new, Syil SX3 4 axis CNC mill but I think we have traced the fault to a dogey PSU that gets a bit iffy when it gets warm. It is supposed to give out 48v but after about twenty minutes this drops to 25v and the drives fault through lack of juice.

I will try and pop in as often as possible but with so many forums to keep up to date, it may be quite difficult. I have to say that had it not been for CNCzone, and forums like this, I would never have built my own and it has been a tremendous experience.

All the best,

Mike
