I first got...Hi Charles Thanks for your comments. I first got into using a CNC by finding someone who had one and got him to do some work for me so I could watch the process. There is a lot to it but it is all learnable. First step is learning CAD to make the drawings. Then there's toolpathing which is usually part of the machine software and then there is basically practice, practice, practice. For a hobbyist, it would be a big step and unless you were really dedicated, it would be hard to keep your skills fresh. Give me a call if you want to talk about it.Dorset Custom Furniturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992509915231892524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996158924511262385.post-54195403733166034002008-09-04T20:32:00.000-07:002008-09-04T20:32:00.000-07:00Wow that looks awesome!

I'm trying to learn inlay with a jeweler's saw to cut the pieces and a dremel to accomplish the mortises and it's so painstaking... I'm getting the CNC bug more and more each day... I have been looking at a shopbot buddy but it will be a while before I'd spend 6K for hobbyist work... would you have any thoughts on CNC for hobbyists... i.e. are there quality entry level machines? How great is the learning curve to running such a machine (i.e. does it take forever to learn the software well enough to create and execute new designs)?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>CharlesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154747251402686844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996158924511262385.post-22844762227361603112008-09-04T20:06:00.000-07:002008-09-04T20:06:00.000-07:00HelloHelloBachelor Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09568212529484583826noreply@blogger.com
