Hello to you all

Hello everyone, quick intro to me...

I've been looking at building a cnc router, mainly as a toy, although I have a few possible commercial ideas for low volume production. Mainly though I'm interested in doing this as a something to learn from and play with.

I've been lurking for a bit over on cnczone, and I was pleased to discover mycncuk.com, getting a bit fed up of US-centric info :( nice to find UK suppliers, and people who understand that UK metric equivalents to US imperial are NOT the same

I will be diving into the forums with my ideas and plans, feel free to shred them and tear them to pieces :D

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been there done that. I got hooked after seeing a guy on Youtube build a micro mill out of plexiglass and steam pipe. Somewhere in the next two weeks it mutated from a 100mm x 100mm micromill to a Solsylva MDF and ply/rollerskate bearings 4ftx2ft machine. Thence to a Steel and PVC (which will shortly mutate into Aluminium), all ballscrew , R&P Precision rail monster which has taken over my workshop and now necessitates the conversion of our stable block to house it. Toys is too small a word. Home wrecking, marriage stretching,wallet draining devil is closer but also the best fun to be had fully clothed (IMO).:D

feel free to shred them and tear them to pieces :D

Ah, you'll be requiring Irving and Kip's services then ;)

Welcome to the forum.
