Folks,

Everything you are suggesting seems great. But please remember, you're like a nuclear physicist attempting to explain a Thorium reactor to a 3 year old. We are just not working off the same knowledge base....from my side, I really need to get up to speed! So, can you suggest any GOOD books or on-line tutorials that would at least teach me to speak the same language, and have concept of how things SHOULD happen, even if I don't currently know how they do happen?

On slightly more depressing note, the more I look into the actual CNC machine we have (link provided above), it looks more like it's meant to be a teaching machine for use on wood, plastic and maybe "soft" metals. And not a machine that's going to be suited for our robotics builds.

Thanks,
Doc
