Hi folks, found this great site last week, some great knowledge and skill out there. I am designing a small CNC mill for my garage, hopefully sturdy enough to manage some cast iron and Ali machining. Got a bit of CNC usage, was application engineer for west german cnc milling machine builder, lot of Siemens 840D programming experience, some fanuc, Gibbscam, solidworks and autocad. Totally off the tools now but just turned 40 and felt the need to have myself a machine. Be prepared for daft questions, i apologise now, as I have no drive setup / electronic experience to draw upon. Keep up the good work
