November / December 2013

My kit arrived successfully from Stuart Duncan (Titan Machinery NSW Central Coast). It was well packed and appeared to have everything in the kit. It wasn't until I mounted it that I noticed that something was wrong. The kit was missing the motor base plate and hence the none of the mounting holes were lining up. After some persuasion and Aussie ingenuity I mounted it (humpty dumpty style) and got it running.

Now that I could use the milling machine again, I went about designing the rails and motor base plate in CAD. I used VCarve-Pro to post the NC code to mach3 and produced the following
