These would cover all the usual suspects of DIY CNC projects like router, laser, plasma, mill, lathe builds/conversion/retrofits. These docs may provide infos for the size sensitive components for the reader to adapt. Another (complementary) approach would be to add to the docs a library of well crafted howtos about the setup of the various subsystems like motion, spindle/torch, coolant, limits, e-stop... Some kind of decision tree could be provided to lead the implementor who'd find the appropriate support doc for each choice he'd make. For those of us that like to tinker with machines anyway, LinuxCNC is already just great... For the rest of the world that'd better have a machine that they can use to make stuff, we need to provide setups that "just work" in a way or another. Willing to work on this after docs migration and french translation is done. I'm all in to bring LinuxCNC goodness to the masses without putting the burden on the devs who I'd rather have working on fancier things for the future... As I may be unable to build an actual machine for the foreseable future. I plan to start building docs using vismach, then move to tabletop/lab setups with small real components, etc... All these reference docs could have a category and a dedicated thread in the forum to hold discussions, requests and criticisms.
