Thanks Chris Ya I’m kind of into everything but I am really looking forward to getting my longmill I will probably be enclosing the the machine but thought I better wait until it gets here so I get the dimensions right.

@RobertPodvin you might not want to run the longmill in that shop - you would get it dirty!
Just saying that b/c I am jealous of the organization you clearly have in your shop - mine always looks like a bomb wen off in it.
Serious note though, enclosing is not a bad idea, I was not prepared for how much dust these machines put out. I do a lot of work on motorcycles and cars as well - just make sure any of your engine projects are all buttoned up prior to running the cnc to keep saw dust out of your motors 🙂

Totally jealous of that garage/workshop and what a gorgeous table for your LM.

Great shop and great table. I’m curious about the holes in the legs of your table. Do they have a specific purpose?

Thanks for this reply. Calmed my nerves a bit as I am feeling so very overwhelmed after building the LM30x30. I just want to get it going, but am no where close ready from a software side of things.
RobertPodvin…man do I wish I was in that space…great table!
Any other software get-off-the-ground help/advice would be awesome!

I’m lucky I guess…Ihave a 3018 pro mini cnc that I have had for a year and started engraving some signs withthat. So now that I’m an EXPERT LOL I just ordered my 30x30 longmill to make bigger and better stuff…started with candle then to gsender which I prefer and will continue to use. Also Use carveco maker. I’m so excited to finally get started…UPS hurry up!!!
