Into it! I'll be around for Tuesday hack night, hopefully using the other
CNC mill, we should talk then. And in fact, in related discussion, I'd
wanted to make a plan for better clamps/holders the other CNC. If I
remember right, that was on long term loan, can we make improvements to it?

machine working?
we have a CNC machine with about a 500x500mm work area which is made to
microscopic precision. we could literally machine microfluidics with it.
the controller it came with is really old, and runs Windows 95, and
doesn't allow us to load gcode or anything comparable, and afaik can't be
reformed.
the good news is - we have a Mesa Electronics 5i23 board which is
supported by LinuxCNC and would make a great replacement controller!
so if anyone wants to get this CNC machine going, let me know and we can
discuss steps toward that.

hi folks,
looks like the spindle needs to be tightened a little bit but it's
working! i brought in some tooling,
enough to make cuts and learn. anyone interested in using it can
easily learn the basics of lathe operations
and how to grind lathe bits online before operating. this lathe is
also capable of cutting threads - just
swap out gears as indicated on the inside cover of the gearbox and
use an appropriate 60-degree bit. the
lathe and all the tooling I brought in are a donation to the space
but once there's a place for the tooling
I'll grab the toolbox back.
Awesome! I was playing with it the other day. This is a great addition to
sudo and the perfect size lathe for our current
space!
