Finally got everything sorted enough with the CNC to start inputting programs today and ran a basic fixture plate that I need for our frame table. Haven’t been able to spend enough time to dive into figuring this out until recently because we’ve been so busy with other stuff. I’ve been slowly teaching myself and it’s been my goal to really make it a priority over this winter to make this a useful tool for the shop. I know it’s just a simple fixture plate and drilling operation, but it was one hurdle after the next in order to get to this point so today feels like a pretty big win. (And yes, I know I should be running the coolant. Felt like it was ok to get away with a little manual cutting fluid on this one.)
