Howdy and welcome to the Forum. Lots of expertise here, be sure to check out the section on CNC. Attached is a short pdf on making money from a CNC. Don't know if that interests you, but here it is anyway. You've joined a pretty interesting and diverse group. One of our members, Gaffboat, writing as Professor Henry, real name Oliver, has written two books for newbies to CNC. These are available on Amazon.
