General Discussion / Starting from scratch

« on: July 22, 2016, 10:56:59 AM »

I've used Sherline manual equipment for several years. To have the ability to make multiple duplicates, I'd like to move into CNC equipment. My previous Sherline equipment was damaged in a fire so I'm literally starting from scratch.

I'm considering the following equipment:

A 4400 lathe
A 5400 mill
a 2000 mill
a Sherline rotary table.

Source steppers from another source
a PDMX board to be determined

I'm unsure what computers to buy. I'm guessing I'll need one for each machine to work reliably.

Fuison 360 software

I'm I off base? Is this a workable package?

Thanks,
Mike
