Re: [ATM] Milling About

The resources I use most are two usenet groups: rec.crafts.metalworking and 
uk.rec.models.engineering. For CNC information I use a yahoo group: DIYCNC. 
There is another, very large yahoo group (as I recall CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO), but 
they are completely ferocious on even slightly off topic posting, so if you 
don't want to build a CNC mill, I wouldn't bother with them. (If you do, 
then definitely DO bother with them). r.c.m is incredibly noisy, lots of 
long running threads on US politics, red vs blue states and so forth, but it 
seems whenever there is a real question the traditionaly excellent group of 
posters are still out there lurking. The r.c.m archives on google groups are 
a gold mine. There is a cnc usenet group as well: alt.machines.cnc (I 
think). Even noisier than r.c.m but lots of good stuff in the archives, and 
once again I think the good posters still lurk, waiting for good questions. 
There is a long time poster to a.m.cnc, who goes just by the first name 
Anthony, who has absolutely incredible expertise on professional level CNC.

I'd definitely mention that you are coming at it from a telescope making 
interest, there are a number of ATMs that frequent r.c.m. James Lerch has 
posted a couple of things there recently, so he is still around, in any 
case.
