Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself before I started asking lots of simple questions.
My name is Terry May, I'm now retired, but my background is in US Naval aviation and system safety engineering.
I have been doing hobby and general puttering machining for a few years with manual machines, but I recently took the CNC plunge by buying a Tormach PCNC 1100. I'v just had it for a couple of weeks and so am a true novice with CNC work, so I have lots of questions to ask. I believe I will enjoy learning CNC and using MACH 3. One minor issue I have already discovered is that the Tormach customized version of Mach 3 has lots of differences in the screens and some of the Mach 3 screens don't appear to be available. It's a little frustrating, because I'm attempting to use the video tutorals before I bug people with questions, but the screens are different in the tutorials and my version, so sometimes it's not as clear as I would like.
Terry
