Hello! real names Matt Excited to find this forum, I'm from Peotone Illinois and have a custom built plasma cnc that's 5X5 and just finishing up building a 5x10 cnc router with an ATC spindle. I make all kinds of fun stuff out of metal and also build custom pinball machines from scratch using the P-ROC system Build lots of arcade cabs also
Have a custom built 5x5x6 powder coat batch oven also Try to keep everything I in build in shop Been collecting large tools, mills, and lathes for years
Have been lurking for a bit and really like what I've seen here so far

Re: New Guy here from Illinois
I grew up in Albany Park. I didn't get down your way. Too far to ride on a bicycle? Maybe. But I didn't want to ride through South Chicago.
Although I DID ride up to the Chain-o-Lakes State Park and back again at age 10!
Good luck with your machines. I hope you make BILLIONS of dollars!
