[QUELAB CNC] CNC Parts

[John Anthes]

Geoff, Hi –

Good question.

 

Last time I was there Eric, Morgan and I reviewed the status.

Some of the replacement Bosche router parts seemed to have a wobble?

A cutter that wobbles in the chuck is bad news.

 

I left thinking we had found a way forward?

So the hardware seems capable of going forward?

 

I am unclear on an agreed upon location of the CNC?

 

I have listened to three members about alternative software: Morgan, Adric, and another whose name I have not learned to remember yet.

 

It seemed to me that the “Person in Charge” is Morgan? 

But Morgan, at the time, seemed to be distracted by a number of conflicting topics: UNM classes, upcoming travel, and 3-D printer projects?

 

So, what is the status?

 

I think I can attend this Sunday 5 PM or so? But it’s a 40 mile round trip for me.

So …

Do we have a quorum of interested persons to develop a plan to move forward? 

Or what?

 

Best Regards,

 

John Anthes “Dr Opto”

BTW – I have volunteered to fill the role of hardware provider for the Bosch Palm router and cutters. 

This comms channel is unreliable, slow, and frustrating. My smartphone provides messages all day long. I think I  saw the initial question from JT a couple of days ago? But I was holding off thinking others would-should chime in first?
