:) Hi all
My name is Roy and I am an electronics design engineer based in the Midlands. My hobbies are electronics and model engineering.
I have a milling machine and lath which I bought many years ago but I only got into CNC this last six months. I always thought it would cost a fortune and be a complex operation to convert a machine to CNC operation. Not anymore, low cost powerfull stepper motors and electronics linked to a modern PC works wonders for a modest outlay. Since then I have converted the milling machine, an Alpine Minor to CNC operation. To save more money I have also designed my own control boards. I am please to see a British CNC forum site and wish it and it's users all the best for the future.
