Another lurker!

Hi Bill and all, I have been only lurking for a short while but have been interested for some time now in the building of say a 4'x2' router for alumin (thin) wood and various foams. I am still very much watching this list and you probably have had the details or some of them already on the list as to what is the best approach balancing performance with cost. Obviously your guy,s know their 'onions' with regard to the programming side but I must say it is very"double dutch" to me at this stage. I have data from, Supercam,dancad,isel,THK, Thomson,Actuators and ballscrews etc etc but as yet not clear on the best combinations/options.
Therefore I will continue to lurk I guess and pick up more as time goes on. I suspect many others are like me in that regard. It could be good for us 'newbies' if there was a FAQ page somewhere and many of us I think would lap up a "this is how to it deal" with support from independent list people who can confirm it all works. I read about suppliers who "can't" be contacted as well as those who are most supportive, so decisions can be a bit of a worry. cheers Lurker with intent Raynor J. |

You have come to the right place for information on building a cnc router. I have built two and I am now in the process of building two more, this time with a fixed bridge design. If you have any questions, please send me a note. I hope to have a web page up in about a month. Bob Campbell Euless, Texas ----- Original Message -----
