I just got the latest HOME SHOP MACHINIST and there is a bit on Roland
Friestad's CNC Open House. Roland has written a CNC column for that
magazine for several years, and is the guy behind the CNC exhibits at
the NAMES show for the past several years.

His recent columns have been on a CNC retrofit using Mach2, this one is
about doing a CNC rotary table.

The event will run from June 20 to 26 in Galesburg IL. He indictes there
is parking for RVs on-site.

During the week of June 20-24, They will do a Bridgeport retrofit, and
convert a Grizzley, including fitting ballscrews. Evening classes in CNC
programming and CAD/CAM.

On June 24,25,26 there will be a CNC Swap Meet, and displays of
commercial vendors and CNC hobbyists.

For further info contact Roland at cardinal.eng@... or call him at
309/ 342-7474

I have no other info on this, just reporting what I read in the magazine.
