<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I'm not able to make tonight's meeting, John.<br><br></div>And, actually, this CNC mailing list was created so we could have discussion & coordination.<br><br></div><div>A
plan of attack has already been formed - Andres purchased the X-Carve
upgrade along with a Bosch Colt Router mount that fits the upgrade. We
can make do with a quick and dirty mount to put the colt on the current Z
axis, or wait until the upgrade is here & not use the machine until
then.<br><br></div><div>I want to be a part of the upgrade. We had too
many hands involved before, and the project languished because of it.
We need someone to take pictures (a time lapse would be good), and I
will make a blog post about it.<br><br></div><div>We 'won' the Shapeoko2
from Inventables, and actually have an obligation to the original
agreement, if there is any interest in fulfilling it. Part is
that we need to make the machine available to the public one day a week for a year (I think those were the terms)<br><br></div><div>I see three approaches - <br>1 - make the machine run - upgrade it to an X-Carve, install the Colt router once the mount comes in<br></div>2 - utilize & document Inventables' suggested CAM solution Easel<br>3 - investigate other methods of CAM, such as MakerCam or the Vectric software. It sounds like some of the work people have asked about cannot be done in Easel<br><div>(2 & 3 can be simultaneous & pulled off by different people or groups - )<br></div><br></div>JT<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 6, 2015 at 11:46 AM, John Anthes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jpanthes@comcast.net" target="_blank">jpanthes@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal">CNC Advocates, Hi -<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Am planning to attend Quelab monthly meeting starting with the pot-luck about 4 PM.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been talking with Morgan and with Eric about one CNC project.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">This included the purchase of a Bosch Palm Router that I’ve donated for Quelab projects.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Walter has identified JT, Troy, and Adric as members very interested in adding a CNC capability at the Quelab.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I expect that there are quite a few others. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Can we have an informal discussion today and think about coordinated next steps?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">John Anthes<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Opto<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
