Hi, I'm a intermediate with Solidworks and Surfcam 6, looking for input/information about how to make things easier for pattern making. I'm new to the industry and fairly new to the softwares. I have 4 years of CAD in high school hand drawn and auto cad so I can fairly work my way around a print. Interested in some tips for tool pathing since I'm new to a 5-axis cnc router, can do fairly basic stuff and a couple things picked up.

Hey Hey,

Been working with wood for 20 years, starting to get into small manufacturing. Came here for advice, education and inspiration.

Hello from Cincinnati!

I once was a member here just after I bought an X2 bench top milling machine. I never did convert it to CNC, but still have some hardware and the project folder I created to organize everything required to put it together. Then I got buried in work, with my X2 Project placed on low priority. Now I work exclusively with a 5-axis CNC milling machine that has +/-0.001 mm positioning accuracy and Mastercam X7 for support. It will be awhile before I want to make something with the X2.

Hello,

Just started working with some really high end machines. Thought this forum could help me. Glad to be apart of it and look forward to learning more!

Hello, I finally decided to register in this forum after using it for help over the last two weeks. I have been an electronics engineering intern at an aerospace manufacturing facility for a year and am still becoming familiar with cnc machines and how exactly they work. I look forward to gain knowledge from this forum.

Hello all,
I am Mark, from Sydney, Australia.
I have a cheap Chinese 4 axis mill/router, and learning from scratch with hardly any prior machining experience, though I do own two lathes and a manual mill-all in storage! So doing things arse-about but sometimes you have to jump in the deep end! I do have 7 years experience with 3D printing/prototyping and am quite familiar with CAD.
One problem is the machine lives 100km away from me so I only get to use it once every couple of weeks.
So far I have written some very basic G code and have cut a few tests in acrylic.
My intention with the machine is to make parts for model trains and car parts for my old Land Rover.
I'm having trouble with the control board/USB interface (Jamen brand?) in that Mach 3 frequently warns me "Board not found", but I can't solve or reproduce the problem at will, so hopefully some research here will get me on my way.
Thanks for having such a useful forum!
-Mark

Hello CNC Zone members,
My name is Al and I am from Australia. I enjoy woodworking and metal work and I am looking at getting a CNC router in the future to play with, just as a hobby.
Hopefully I can learn a bit from you guys to give me an idea of what I need to know about CNC routers.

[MAVEN05]

Hey,

I'm new here.
I am waiting on my CNC Router to arrive.
Very interested in new connections in EU and Asia.

Thanks for having me here.

Hello all,

My name is jim, I'm an industrial refrigeration and boiler mechanic by trade, recently changed fields to be Chief Building Engineer for a Portland Oregon building owner who has a niche in the historic building market. Basically I keep the wheels on 13 buildings downtown all built before 1920. One of which is the first commercial building in the pacific NW to have mechanical cooling. All of the old DC power distribution is still in place to a 1935 centrovac chiller(no longer in service unfortunately) another is the first skyscraper built in Portland in 1906/07

I have been a tinkerer all my life and made my own parts by hand for gidgets out of brass copper aluminum lead and very basic steel components. In recent years I've gotten into steam engines as well as making replacement parts for the antiquated equipment I work with...

Unfortunately at only 32 my hands are getting shaky, my eyeballs are wearing oddly and I'm having a real hard time making little bits with the precision that would prevent my tossing hours of work across the shop. I'm researching alternatives that will allow me to make what I need with less frustration. I have a small old thread cutting metal lathe and a drill press that I'm pretty familiar with but I've never played with cnc or precision machine tools at all for that matter, all my fine tuning has been done with 100 different files and emery cloth...looking forward to learning
