I really dig my machine. I have a Journeyman with upgraded z-20 and 80mm spindle. It has quirks but with the newest firmware, I have no complaints. I use it almost every day over the past four years and have pushed it to my limits.
And the community has been key. You all here have helped tremendously!
Not sure why I’m writing this other than I felt I had to. Big thanks to Onefinity and the Onefinity community.
Hey! I thought I heard someone shouting “Yee Haw! One more day!” from my back yard. I live in RR and was looking toward Albakerky (as Bugs Bunny calls it). Way cool
Is there a Makerspace (you can Google your address & “near me”)? They usually have CNCs and folks who glom together so might not need a separate dedicated CNC users group. Also, a woodworking group might have several CNCers. And if there’s a voc-tech college nearby, they may have folks too - you don’t need to be a student in a program to sit in but may need to sign up for a class to be able to use their machines or participate in class-sponsored activities.
