    Hi Rob,

    good to see more Ph.D's on the forum, was starting to feel lonely :D.

    Did mine in MechEng at Bristol Uni studying ultrasonic guided waves.

    My advice would be to make use of the Universities machine shop as much as you can and make friends with the machinist there. They have stories to tell and may even allow you to learn on a real machine.

    Looking forward to seeing your post on the X-carve

    Good tip on making use of university workshop. My experience is that they are so used to real numpties making a nuisance of themselves that they are really happy to talk to someone with some idea of what they are doing! I learnt a lot from the technician when I was doing my PhD... (and I keep that quiet on this forum as you just get accused of being an incompetent theorist who can't put a cutter in a chuck right end first - see reference to numpties above )
