Default Re: "Conversational" programming vs full cnc

If I did the setup I'd most likely start with the conversion of one of my older acer mills (knee style) and then depending on how well it works possibly step into one of their milling centers.

They have one in beta testing now that is almost identical to a haas mini mill and is a lot less expensive. I'm just starting my research into these and they are supposed to have full abilities like bobcad just pc based instead of program based, as well as having abilities to directly transfer my code from the haas into it. I'm just not into having a system that more or less wont let the guys see the full capabilities of cnc, I'd rather they learn how to operate a full system and know how and what it's doing more so than them just depending 100% on the pc to do the work.

I agree with that Dan , the cam doesn't always give good paths I'm alway editing my programs ( at least with what I have now ) 1 of these days I'd like to take some classes or at least sit down and read through my manual with out all the interruptions I get . supposedly I can put a DXF in my VM16 But the software is not in the control I'm trying to decide on Onecnc or get the fastcam put in the mill .
