HI,

last months I was looking into the forums only a few times into a few threads.

Now I would like to get an actual overview about what is discussed about CNC.

So I tried searching for "CNC". Search-result.... - nothing -((

If I remember right the search engine needs 4 letters at least to find something.

So how would you search for cnc related threads?

best regards
Stefan

    The search function requires at least four characters.

    You can use something like CNC*. I use GPS* a lot.

    Or you could use Rich's most excellent search that will search one, two, or three letters, or more:

    I don't recall a lot of CNC talk lately.

    I'm still working on the software you mentioned here.

    It appears most people use a PC with their CNC projects.

    There was quite a bit of talk of g-code in a thread about projects in 2014.

    I haven't worked on my CNC project for a while but it's still high on my priorities of things I'd like to get done.

    I'm pretty sure the threads from the Builder's forum are still around. IIRC, they were moved to the Project's thread.
