It is hooked up and I did had some time to cut a few things with it and it is “Really Quite” .

Hi Jeff
I’m in Dublin. I got the shapeoko up and running have cut a few things still learnings I’ve recently bought a new 1.5k spindle for it because I need something with less noise, so far I’m loving the upgrade.

Re: Live in the Columbus Ohio area
Hi Jeff,
Good to hear that there are people in town to bounce ideas and questions. I am very new at CNC so I will be asking a lot of questions.
