In the Beginning...

Welcome. This site chronicles my adventures into the fascinating world of CNC (Computer Numeric Control). If CNC is your hobby too, then hopefully you'll find something of interest. If anyone does make anything featured here then send a picture or a link and I'd be happy to post it.

Let me introduce you to my machine:


I call it my money pit. For those of you who know something about CNC, my machine is a simple 3 axis setup with unused provision for a 4th axis, and travels a leisurely 24ipm. So far Ive been able to mill plastics, printed circuit boards and soft woods without a problem. Hardwoods and aluminum are not out of reach but don't turn out very pretty yet. I have some ball nose end mills in the mail so I'll post some project pictures after they arrive.

Anyone out there use Turbocnc? I'll post some pictures of my homemade pendant pretty soon and if people are interested I might start a site with instructions.
