what are those file extensions used for? The cad software? I know they must be the design files of some sort.

What type of interface do you use with your PC? A controller card of some sort?

Well at the moment nothing....
I will have

Sieg X2 Mini Mill (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=44991)
CNCfusion conversion kit (www.cncfusion.com kit 4)
xylotex controller and stepper motors which will connect via Parallel port of a computer. (http://www.xylotex.com/Econo4AxSpecial.htm)
Will use Mach3 software for Cad to CNC interpretation (http://www.machsupport.com/) and a CAD program i am unsure of yet.

I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.

There was a guy who built his own machine on instructables.com

not directly for profit but wouldn't mind dong a few small projects and i have seen that desktop cnc on instructables and figured i might as well get one that can do some big stuff too while i am at it. Also ebay sells the above mills converted to CNC with the software and everything BUT CAD for about 1600.

hey, sorry i'm late.
my site has some old stuff on it: http://a4dtm.com

hmm, the only new pics I have are for my job. I design full sized controllers for electric vehicles. but what I'm working on is all concept design right now, and I don't think I'm allowed to show them.. I'll ask about it on Monday, and post if I'm allowed.
