A new toy
Following on from my recent post and post on building a CNC router. We just received a new toy today.
Many thanks to Anthony for giving TOG this old Contour Minor CNC Milling Machine. The mill is in good working order, though it does rely on some old MS-DOS based software (I’ve already checked that it works with FreeDOS), I’m hoping we’ll be able to get it going with LinuxCNC.
CNC Router
If you’ve been following along very closely you’ll know I’ve been working on the design of a CNC Router for TOG. In recent weeks I’ve actual started experimenting and prototype some parts while collecting various materials, components and tools.
The prototype is shown below.
