Hi, I am also a new member as of today, I am 71 years young so be patient with me. I live near Oxford and have a very wide range of interests my user name is Mininmax as I used to own and fly a Team Minimax microlight, sadly all gone now as my age presented problems with the licence. Anyway I have just bought a small 2030 cnc and have got it working fine, I use solid edge for drawings and cut2d with Mach3 to run the machine. I have a Boxford lathe and the Seig2 mill that I would like to convert to cnc now I have an idea as to how to run things. I must add that I have never used cad until about a month ago like wise with c.n.c. I will try to post some photos of bits and bobs I have been doing later. Regards to you all
