I must say John that you are much more patient than I. As long as the
parts will take the heat warming helps drive the epoxy cure. Roughly 10
degrees C doubles the reaction rate. 175 F or 80 C is a good place to
start. Assuming RT is 20 then 80-20 = 60 or 2^6 X. Naturally one may
have to back
I bought one of these well over 30 years ago.

My sons played with it until either they were bored or it stopped working. It
went back in the box and they never told me the motor no longer ran.
I ended up taking it apart and
Because linuxcnc is so flexible - I actually did some testing between mach3
and linuxcnc when the new trajectory planner was being developed..

This is using linuxcnc to sample the step/direction signals from mach and
linuxcnc to plot
I think there is more fear of the unknown rather than any technical
challenge in using a Linux based solution. It's a new TV remote with
different colored buttons.
My concern is the precision of the resulting work using a solution that
does not have real-time response to the control devices
I love that LinuxCNC is hacker friendly and can be customized as needed,
but I also think it'd be great if there was a simple generic
plug-and-play solution for a 3 axis mill or router and another for a
lathe. It's all some people would need and it'd go a long way toward
lowering the initial
I think it's a great idea, I've had a lot of the same thoughts in the
past. Mach3 was traditionally the "go to" solution instead of the Acorn
CNC unit due to ease of implementation. I haven't tried either, but agree
that LinuxCNC has a steep learning curve. And that comes as a prior
hobbyist
Everyone is probably partying or drinking egg nog this close to Christmas but
on one of the local metal groups a new member posted that he was converting his
mill to CNC.
His first posting:

and Clearpath Nema 34
