Hello!

Post by RUngles »

I gave myself a Christmas present and bought a Langmuir Crossfire Pro. I am spooling up from scratch, so the table is in boxes in the garage while the bits and pieces show up. It also arrived just in time for the big blizzard which is leaving the garage absolutely frigid! I will tackle things when it warms up a touch.

I started out buying a welder, wanting to regain what proficiency I used to have, and shortly realized I needed things to weld together, which led me to CNC tables and in turn to Langmuir. I am looking at this as a hobby to begin with. I will retire in a couple of years as an industrial controls engineer and I want something to keep me occupied.

At any rate I've been having a lot of fun just getting to this point! I'm looking forward to the exploration and journey!

Sounds like a fun plan, bummer about the weather. This is a great place to learn, it has certainly helped me get going when i first started. Best of luck and post some pics of your machine or parts you cut with it when you get to that point.
