anybody made 'his own' CNC drill/router?
See mine here: Photos; Jan Rowland (near end of all). The PET you see on
the left once controlled it. The last PET finally died several years back,
and I am now converting the drill-control circuitry to be controlled off the
LPT-1 of an ancient PC running MSDOS/GWBASIC. Does about 50 holes per minute.
This was a very educational project, built in 1984. Based upon some of the
details I taught myself doing that "PCB Drill," I subsequently built some
serious PC-controlled X-Y router gear for pipeorganbuilding shops, even one in
the UK. Too much work for lazy people, so I retired while still living!
