History of Lesters CNC machinery

<p>Having built up a collection of kit over the last 50+ years I now have a fairly well equipped &#39;workshop&#39;, but no real space to actually set it up. The kit currently includes ...</p>

<p><strong>3D extrusion printer</strong><br />
30cm Cubic Print built from kit and modified to address design problems<br />
Single extrusion print head</p>

<p><strong>40cm square laser cutter</strong><br />
Cuts up to 3mm MDF/Plywood</p>

<p><strong>A3 router table</strong><br />
My own build of CNC driver with Mach3 software on a W2k computer<br />
Kress 1100W high speed spindle</p>

<p><strong>Taig CNC mill</strong><br />
with closed loop Microproto driver and Mach3 running on XP<br />
Kress 1100W high speed spindle</p>

<p><strong>Taig lathe</strong><br />
with CNC extensions via the Taig mill</p>

<p>I need to sort the design software as the older packages are no longer functional, but FreeCAD has provided perfectly acceptable G-Code in the past, and I expect to be able to use that with the laser table. Slicing for the 3D printer is a sticking point currently.</p>
