Hi Paul, Definitely worth going for UCCNC and UC100 interface in my view. Intuitive and easy to learn and can be customised if you so wish. Big...

I would recommend you do a more or less full mechanical assembly before wiring the machine - it's so much easier to get the tuning correct without th...

Hi Nitro24, With 84 holes to drill / mill, treat yourself to an 8mm end mill if you can find a collet to match for your spindle. Otherwise the spir...

You can easily check and set UCCNC functions that operate from hotkeys!! On the UCCNC screen select "CONFIGURATION / I/O TRIGGER / HOTLEYS" to acce...
