If you have made a tutorial for LinuxCNC, machining or other CNC related tutorials please post them here.

If you have a question about a tutorial please start a new thread so this one stays short and to the point.

Hi BigjohnT thanks for the video tutorial. I am very new to LinuxCNC and hope to replace my current Mach3 and Smooth Stepper setup with it. As such I have a question . Given when the video was made how viable is this build as of 6-11-20?

I didn't make the videos, the general ideas should be the same.
