INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the SmithyCNC EZ-Trol II Control System as the CNC control option for

your SmithyCNC machine.

Smithy’s unique EZ-Trol II system not only opens up the world of machining to you but the world of

small shop manufacturing. The unique EZ-Trol II user interface provides an intuitive step by step

process that makes CNC machining more understandable for the novice and seasoned machinist.

No doubt you are anxious to start making chips fly, but it is important that you to take a few

minutes to read this introduction and understand the development process behind the Smithy

EZ-Trol II Control system.

Once again thank you for choosing Smithy EZ-Trol II.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Smithy Company has been selling machining equipment for over twenty years. Over the years we

have seen increasing interest in low-cost bench-top CNC machines for use in the small shop

environment. The types of individuals that have shown an interest in CNC bench top machining

include home hobbyists, engineers in R & D laboratories, small job, lo-tech tech tranining centers,

shop owners and garage shop entrepreneurs. Individuals from a variety of other industries have

seen the potential of CNC machine tools to get their jobs completed more efficiently.

Historically

, finding a good low-cost CNC machining solution has not been an easy task. Money is

usually a limiting factor in small shops and CNC machines have traditionally been expensive. The

most cost effective option for many has been to purchase a manually operated machine and then

retro fit it with a CNC control system. Following this path has left machine owners with no margin-

al technical support. Not to mention the inordinate amount of time (and patience) it takes to con-

vert a conventional machine to a CNC machine.

With this in mind, our development staff, which includes industry leading machine tool and control

system engineers, worked to develop a control system that would allow small shop machinists to

produce and reproduce parts with lower cost CNC tools.

ORGANIZATION OF THIS MANUAL

The organization of this manual was constructed from the point of view of a committed but still

learning CNC machinist who is unfamiliar with the EZ-T

rol II control system. Studying the first few

chapters will familiarize you with the installation of the EZ-Trol II System and how to navigate the

control system and interface. The remaining chapters are intended to provide you with an overview

of how to use the
