Very nice Mike,
It would be nice if you could integrate all the conversions from one common ( free ? ) drawing program/ to Gcode / to machine code in one, we would all build or buy your miller, Oh what fame !.
I got completely lost with the Reprap and dxf and gcode, so I just made my 2 axis machine wander round like an old fashioned "turtle" with simple code, but at least I mastered the stepper motors.

"I might be able to do the project without the miller. I won't say what it is but it involves LEDs and switches. A clue is it involves 61 of them, not a very binary number."

Hi @Grumpy_Mike,
What moving speed (xy axes) and RPM(Proxxon mill) you used in milling that RFID coil? Thank you!
Best regards,
Vasi

I used a speed of 200 for the axis and 10,000 rpm on the spindle. The project is on line now at:- http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Hardware/CNC_Conversion.html |

Mike, do you have any sources for info on choosing the correct tooling? I have no idea where to start.

I am still struggling on tooling. You can try and ask on some of the CNC forums like:- http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/forum.php |
