Cheers, that was marine grade 5083. I’ve since been able to get good results from these settings and a depth of cut at 0.2mm. Travel: 1000...
While on holidays in Geelong (Victoria, Australia), I got bored and made a little video on my CNC machine: [MEDIA]
Is anyone else finding that the latest version freezes up their machine when loading gcode? My mouse moves, but not much else works. not even the...
Cheers mate, I think it's finally a useful little CNC machine now. PS, AvE fan? (I certainly am)
I finally finished my Y-axis linear upgrade - it got put on hold for a few months due to urgently needed carpal tunnel surgery. Anyway, it came...
Cheers, I’ll look for 6082T6 as that looks ideal.
Cheers, I’ll have to see if I can find some 60 series stock to use.

Control is definitely my preferred Gcode sender now, it's really great! I needed to re-trim my spoil board and was feeling a bit impatient, so I...
those old Intel Mac’s make great CNC controllers with CONTROL installed. After apple introduced Universal Control I could never go back to...
That's a good point, this was a cheap 3D printer bed that I was experimenting on. I normally use 5052 for making things and that conducts quite well.
I run Fusion 360 on my Mac's and it run great - IMO it's more stable on macOS than Windows. To actually run my little CNC machine I dredged up...
