'''CNC Mill''' or '''computer numerical controlled milling device''' is used for automatically milling or cutting away at materials like wood, plastic, or softer metals such as aluminum based on a 3D computer model.

* [[JacksMill]] Jack gave us his CNC mill which we used to cut wood. It should also be able to cut soft metal like aluminum.  It is located at the west wall, next to the robot control cabinet.

We have a real CNC Mill as of January 2015. It belongs to Pam and is on-loan.

It is a [[myDIYCNC]] [http://www.mydiycnc.com/project%20overview link] cnc thing


Problems: For some reason, LinuxCNC thinks "home" is at 5.5", 0", 0" which is not where I would home it.  I put sharpie marks to indicate the center of travel for X and Y, which is 6.0",3.5".  I set the proper numbers in the configuration but it doesn't do what it should.  Whatever.

You need to boot the computer to the LINUXCNC operating system, not the Ubuntu 14.04 installed by Big Ed

The USB adaptor it came with is total garbage, and the software offered by "my DIY CNC" is proprietary, so it is plugged into the parallel port of a desktop computer instead, and we are using LinuxCNC software as seen here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/
== a large CNC machine we have hidden under a table ==


We'll be learning how to use this and adding more documentation here.  
there is a large CNC machine suitable for soft materials like soft wood and plastic (and possibly harder materials?) located under the table in the southwest corner of sudoroom.  It should work fine if plugged into the USB of a computer, and probably takes G-code commands through a USB serial interface, and probably runs Marlin or GRBL firmware.  It's made of wood and acrylic, and the wood is painted white.

* [[JacksMill]] In the past jack lent us his CNC mill which we used to cut wood. It was at the old SudoRoom. It is no longer at the SudoRoom but it left behind some awesome memories.

We had a real CNC Mill as of January 2015.  It was donated by Pam and was traded away for a Quick Circuit 5000 (in the 3D printer area)
