My name is Frank.  My real job is in the high tech world.

I am a long time manual lathe and mill user (hobby).  I learned my lathe skills from my Grandfather back in the late 60's and early 70's.  He re-purchased a 16" swing, 8' bed Southbend Lathe that he sold between WWI and WWII and rebuilt it.

 I purchased a Tormach PCNC1100 CNC mill in 2007 to help me learn CNC machining.
 I'm having good success with the Tormach configured Mach 3 with SheetCam.

My difficulty is overcoming the learning curve of SprutCAM for more complex parts.
