I'm still a lurker at this point but I favor keeping this group together. Although most of the discussions go right over my head some of the talk has been superficially absorbed. I hope to see some more discussion aimed at the newbie level, especially the small inexpensive machines since I'm limited to apartment size equipment. With no electronic background and only a little home shop experience this is an intimidating subject without even getting involved with Linux. It was only 4 or 5 months ago that I became aware of the Linux OS.
A few months ago I had a chance to bid on a bench-top CNC machine, the Dyna Myte 2400c, sold by Dyna Mechtronics of Sunnyvale, CA. Although I ended up not bidding on this machine, it seemed like a much better package than all the Sherline conversions I had seen advertised. And it was a rather expensive machine if you bought one new. However, this machine has been out of production for 7 years and there is little factory support available. Is anybody familiar with this machine or the larger machines Dyna Mechtronics sells. I still wonder if I made a mistake not bidding on this machine.
One of the problems with this group is that a few of you guys don't appear to get any sleep; this is an incredibly active discussion group. Even a lurker has a hard time just keeping up with the postings. But please keep in mind that some of the audience to these discussions are not up to speed on this subject.
Let the members be responsible for their own editing of the list's threads.
