		<description><![CDATA[The Smooth Stepper has been in use through several projects. In the picture you can see it installed (green board to the right) with the USB port poking through the front of the case. I have routed the ribbon cable past the far end of the main board since this picturewas taken but it makes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late Saturday night I found some time to to work in Aspire software to create a little project I could run using the 4th axis on the Taig. Little did I realize what an intense learning experience I was about to endure. The first challenge was to learn how Vectric Aspire creates a forth axis [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have it fully wired and working. I didn&#8217;t make finishing this project a high priority because I really don&#8217;t have anything to make on the 4th axis. I have lots of ideas but nothing designed. The work on getting the SmoothStepper installed kind of kicked my butt and said, &#8220;What are you waiting on?&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received the Warp9TD SmoothStepper board about a week ago. I just had a chance to install it in one of my CNC controllers. I mentioned I ordered it a few posts back. The picture there did not give a good impression of the actual size of this diminutive surface mount technology (SMT) circuit board. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds almost perverse but that&#8217;s the name of Art Fenerty&#8217;s latest software. If you don&#8217;t know, Art is the creator of the MACH3 series of affordable CNC control software. Art has sold off MACH3 about four years ago so has had time to design gear making software. MACH3 is still very popular and widely used. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last November (2011) I shut down the Proxxon line from The Hobbyist Machine Store. This was probably poor timing being just before Christmas. However, the constant inquiry about the PD400 lathe for almost a year with zero sales was not something that was productive. I have decided to list Proxxon products again at the store [...]]]></description>

I have to admit that web publishing and doing it well has become a personal obsession as big as working in my shop on “hardware” projects. I suspect that creative work is never finished as almost any design engineer, graphic artist or programmer will admit they [...]]]></description>

After expending too many hours revising the THMS website, I got into the mood to get out in the shop and really start detailing the place. Several hours earlier before this picture was taken, this bench looked nothing like this. I am [...]]]></description>
