Basic CNC

raymort
raymort over 9 years ago

Sorry to ask this question, but I have a new CNC MACHINE but I have not a clue how it works so frightened to try and use it without it disintegrating into loads of bits. So I live in Hereford in the UK and would like help from someone who would be prepared to show me. A good supply of brews a good dinner and if one day is not enough then you can stay.

I would be grateful for any help.

 

many thanks

    IIRC Chicago is the machining capital of the planet, because O'Hare, as an aside. Around here they use machinable wax as a practice material. They superglue parts together when they want to make a part…

    Sure!  I ran into a friend at the beach since the last time I posted, gotta say it was a pretty pretty sunset.   Anyway, he informed me that Pumping Station One has voted to get a largish plasma table.  Those things cut steel like my laser table cuts acrylic.  He works for an interesting business, they make large plywood robotic dragons for festivals and chi-chi weddings.  Says it slows up in winter, however.  PS1 nucleates all kinds of small businesses.  Judging from the smile he wears on his face, I infer that working with robotics, fire and hula girls is hella fun.

     

    Another friend of mine got involved with the machining program at a local junior college when they got a huge sum of money from the Obama administration to set up a completely state-of-the-art fabrication program, the goal of which is to represent all modern fabrication techniques.  I am happy to say that practically all of the major manufactures of this stuff are climbing over each other to donate their best machines.  This freed up money for the school to build a huge (cliché warning) state-of-the-art facility off-site.  He is saturated trying to learn all of these exotic machines.  He has even gotten some material donations!

     

    Chicago doesn't disappoint.  I must say that my son ran off with my tools to Portland Oregon, but the weather is nice there now and he has some time off and a nice compound, so we could visit.  He recently acquired a medium-large mill.  He is using my stuff for a laudable cause:  Multnomah County ARES

     

    But she is surrounded by industrial farmland for miles and miles.  Two places we have found for outdoor recreation that are somewhat local are Manistee, Michigan and Carbondale, Il.

     

    There is an disproportional amount of young women here as they are more given to leave the farm for big-city life than their brothers.  There is a large culture here trying to adapt robotics and other technologies to art and social purposes.  Lots of capital, lots of events and festivals.  Fun, Fun.  Winter used to be a lot of fun here, we would go skating and tobogganing, but with global warming it has turned into a rainy miasma, often.
