This tool requires training before use.

If you're interested in learning to run the mill, look through the training materials. Much of the syllabus is milling theory and CAD/CAM which you learn about with online research & tutorials.

Come up with a simple project that you'd like to make, model it in Fusion360, and produce the CAM for it. Once you have something you think is ready to go, or if you have any questions aloong the way, contact mikewalters.

Introduction

Intermediate

- Chips got into the vent and shorted the circuit that sends a 0-10V signal from the control board to the spindle motor driver. The 10V DC-DC power supply replaced, smoothing capacitor and opamp chip were replaced. Now the spindle is working again.

- Water damage happened to the PC, it has been replaced with a dell optiplex, running windows 7 and the denford software installed. Working now.
