I just placed the order for my Taig CNC mill with a Gecko drive. I'm still in the process of reading through this forum and picking up tons of useful information. I'm sure I'll be posting those troublesome newbie posts asking questions after I get the machine and run into problems, so I thought I'd say Hi and introduce myself before I start asking for help.
My name is Bill Shubert and I live in Peoria, IL. My hobby is making pool cues and I plan to use the Taig to cut custom inlays for my cues. I've had previous experience with CNC. Actually, I'd have to say NC. When I programmed my first tool path back in the 80's, we had to punch a mylar tape to transfer the G-code to the machine. Yea, I'm old
The area where I am really lacking experience is in the electronics/hardware end. If anyone can point me to books/articles/tutorials that would be targeted toward the electronics used in these machines, I would appreciate it!
Thanks and hello to all!
