I know that many on this forum have CNC machines, or intend to modify/build/acquire a CNC machine.
Should we petition the Administrator to add a CNC Forum ?
The question was prompted by my joining the local men's shed.
They had been given a box of bits that 'should' be capable of assembling into a router suitable for signs etc.
The guys did a good job on the general hardware, but were having problems with the details and the software.
I started contributing and managed to load the Arduino controller with Grbl.
We then acquired a download of the Universal G-Code Sender for the laptop.
The problem now is that I am not sure how to install it.
It is simple questions like this that could be dealt with here.
There are a multitude of forums out there dealing with all sorts of exotic variants of CNC aspects, but perhaps we could help our members get started on this exciting development with a suitable Forum.
