Ok my Shapeoko CNC machine is on its way. While it was a long wait, im sure it will be worth it. I think it already is.I learned some Arduino along with some basic CNC stuff and quiet a few new programs including SolidWorks, BobCAD and Sketchup.

Awesome! Try not to crash it. I made a couple unintentional holes in mine, at least it was only into the spoil board.
heh yeah. Ill try to start with something small to get a feel of it all 🙂
