Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Another "newbe"

Welcome, Edwin! (Ed?)

you will find a wide range of opinions here, and some very strong ones at
that, as to the "how-to"s of CNC mills and desktop configurations in
particular. I submit to you two outstanding resources (in my opinion) of
people to talk to regarding getting started in CNC and a desktop mill.

One engineer who's work has impressed me is Chuck at C&G Research. Here is
his website address.

The guru of motion control I bow to is Dan Mauch at Camtronics, Inc. Here
is his website address. http://www.seanet.com/~dmauch/

good luck and don't be surprised when other voice some very passionate
opinions contrary to what you decide is best for your setup.

Scott
