Will be assembling my x carve soon... Once I have

[WoodKnot]

Son number one helped get Easel started on the new laptop he's bought me and we connected up to the X-carve... tested all the axis stepper motors... Z didn't work... couldn't make it out... Doh! headslap... had forgotten to insert that terminal block into the controller.
Ran a simple easel file to test things... without a cutting mill and without a piece of board to cut... just to see how things went....
Let's just say... I was very pleased.

Hi Mike S - some of your first carves would be good to see -

Which stepper motors have you used?

How do you find Easel?

Thanks
