I'm not sure if there is a specific forum this should go in or not but I was wondering how many of us out there have/use CNC machines for any Arcade part builds. Like control panel etching/Plexi cuttting/etc. The reason I ask is as I've become addicted to Kickstarter I came across an awesome project where by to basically create your own CNC machine and I'm wondering if anyone else in the arcade community has/uses a CNC and what they use it specifically for. I would use the CNC for more than just my arcade machines but it would be awesome to hear what other people may be doing. Here's the project - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ajquick/cnc-building-blocks |

Here's mine: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=99875.0 Here's something I've done with it: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=106894.msg1197500#msg1197500 And another project that has been neglected... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=111007.msg1197635#msg1197635 For software, I design almost exclusively in Solidworks, create my G-Code with SolidCAM and run the machine with EMC2 My machine has been severely neglected though. It's not in a hugely convenient place, especially when my bedroom a little messy (the machine is in my bedroom closet.) Currently it's covered with random electronics and other project materials. I think it's about time I clean it off and start making dust. |

We use CNC with these cabinet kits: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Turun_Puujaloste A few construction videos here: http://keskustelupalstat.com/mame/ |

Interesting project. I've thought about a CNC machine more than a few times. But speaking of Kickstarter, right now I'm waiting on one of these: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/printrbot/printrbot-your-first-3d-printer?ref=live Kind of in the same vein. I'm already thinking about the arcade parts possibilities. ;D But with a Kickstarter project, it's best to have a lot of patience. After the Printr Bot, a CNC machine may be in my future. Hopefully this one takes off. |

I used a CNC machine to make my bartop... and in a couple of weeks Ill be using it to make my Ms. Pac cocktail table... This machine is a little overkill for arcade making, but I need to do something to keep it busy! Here check it out: |
