Hi Tweakie

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of your site - V. helpful and informative,  I think I am going to pursue this along the lines you have already done.  I will keep you up to date with progress (and calamities) as I go along.

FAQs / Upgrading an old cnc mill
« on: October 21, 2010, 03:32:05 PM »
Hi

Helpful guy on the Denford forum pointed me in this direction for help.  I own a 1986 Denford Triac which I would like to use in school.  I am quite happy to throw out the existing control electronics and replace these if need be but I need the machine to operate;  computer model - conversion / control software - machined product.

I have seen modern equipment in action and a model was generated on Autodesk Inventor, downloaded onto software which converted to G codes (and simulated the machining process) and allowed the mill to operate with minimal user input.

That is ideally what I would like to achieve.  Can't afford to buy new mill / router but am prepared to invest some time and cash in the old one if this can be done - is this where Mach 3 comes in?

I would really appreciate any help and advice - many thanks.  John
