Mach4 General Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!
« on: June 10, 2007, 11:46:08 AM »
greetings all,
i too am new to the Artsoft/Mach3 experience but not to the CNC retrofit
experience overall. i started my 1st retro using the Ah Ha! control and DOS
on a Turnex NC machine purchased from my place of employment. this was
in 1997. i became a true old school machinist when i had to design and build
a tool turret indexing plate because i managed to snap the original into 2 very
nicely engineered pieces! that was the start of a precious and rewarding
journey that grows every time i think about something to do in my shop. so now
i have a moog mill and a south bend chipmaster mill with the moog the highest
priority and i never seem to tire of brainstorming for another digitally optimized
process --- hummmmmm, a home built cmm . . . . .before or after the sheldon
17" lathe retrofit (this machine came with the turcite already installed).
i am not very strong on many things and i find i really have to wrap my head around
many different info sources to finally arrive at some rational gest of what i am working
with. so i tend to be quiet and just research and absorb. some people might call
this "lurking" . . . . . i wish success to all who whose hopes, dreams, ideas or
romantic wanderings have deposited them to this forum and its kindred populace.
