Hello. My name is Chuck Knight and I've just joined this In keeping
with internet etiquette, I feel that I should take a moment and introduce
myself.
Like I said...my name is Chuck Knight, and I'm interested in building
a CNC router for my woodworking shop. My shop is already well
equipped by any normal standards, with "regular" tools, but I am
attempting to build a clock and normal woodworking tools don't
seem to have the level of precision I need, especially for the faces of
the escape wheel.
Of course, being a lifelong geek, I'm thinking a CNC router would
make a good addition. :-)
The hard part is going to be my budget -- I'm trying to do this on the
cheap, so if anyone has any suggestions about stepper motors or
linear slides that could be of assistance, please feel free to share them.
I look forward to participating on this list, after I learn the basics.
