![]() If the level of frustration that presents seems too unreasonable at some point, I'd certainly also look at other routes. While I will try LinuxCNC and already have put together a (not too) old PC (which currently refuses to properly boot from LinuxCNC dvd but installs winXP just fine), I do know (roughly) about their limitations and am expecting at best to work with a few millimeter thick aluminium sheets (DIY musical gear front panel cutouts and such), mostly plastic and wood parts milling, and PCB milling.Īs I understand, the printer port control scheme of those CNC machines is a bit "too direct" to work reliably with a program like Mach3 running on windows, as it's not real-time. Sound plan, eh? (yes yes, I know it's not as easy, I have to learn about proper tools and feed rates etc ) I.e., if I'm bad at precisely building things by hand, I guess, a computer should make it for me! So I got myself a china CNC router "6040" thingy, one with 3 axes, ball screws, and VFD control inside the box. I am a software developer, and if you'd see the little work bench I built myself, you would have no doubts about it. ![]()
