• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

You CNC nerds know much about this PC-less, Mach-less CNC controller technology? I'm a complete sub-noob on this stuff, but what I think I see is a green brick and a cnc machine... with nothing else in between. Maybe I waited long enough & my dreams came true?

My router has a Masso controller on it. It is sweet. This beats having to need a computer to run the conversion mill.
 
Whether you realize it or not all modern machines have a computer running them, the difference is where or not you see it as a computer in the normal sense of the terms.

Example. Centroid builds dedicated CNC to build race engines and also builds several DYI or retrofit CNC versions such ACORN in which case you use your own computer to run their software with touch screen can replicate thier control system.

Computer less no, computer hidden yes.
