I got a CNC machine.

just need a parallel port now to use it.

Should be able to get a USB to DB25 converter from Ebay. Just watch as not all USB/DB25 converts (with inbuilt controllers are the same).
I had a similar issue with USB to serial, some don't pass extended control codes and stuff.

Im just getting a full parallel port PCI card for my computer, its only $15 rather then getting a usb one. because i have seen a few of the ones we have a work also dont do everything they can.

So a SRI and CAI cost the same amount then? I wonder which one performs better? Sure it'll be up for debate but can anyone say for sure?

For the cables, just look for one with a chipset with manufactured by FTDI. That's the one I have for USB/Serial. ftdichip.com

What is a CNC?

I know what a CMC is

CNC = computer numerical controlled

its a computer controlled machine for creating things. either flat if only xy axis or 3d if xyz axis

@Ofey
Its like a combination CAI/SRI, cause it still uses the stock air pipe, think I may open up the front plastic and ramp it just to give it that bit more CA input. Its very much similar to Ben D's Takeda retain SRI. I was asking the guys on 9glancer what they all thought of these intakes, from what I gathered K&N was the better choice with alot have CEL errors with the Takeda

That being said i have not had the CEL come on.

Blakeys about to make some nice metal parts for our cars?

i could only problem is i have only a select few ways to hold stuff to the table,(as it doesn't have a vacuum table). and its quite a small machine. with a working area of 20cmX15cmX6cm

I Received my new Parker and number plate Bulbs ..... Thanks Blake

hmm, Im sure we can think of something to make for the many cars on here!

thats good, hope you like the, just make sure they turn on when you plug them in, before you put them back in place. save you allot of work of having to pull everything apart again if the polarity is wrong.

and i know doing the license plate is a pain cause of the screws, to get to them. so doing it more then once is a pain.

can do engraving, as long as it fits in the machine. can make badges i guess, can do PCB prototyping, ( the main point of me buying it) and anything else of smaller size.

Will do Blake ..Hmmm YEAH they don't design things to make it any easier to do things as such .....
