Bill,

Are you using 'Local System Rotated' (MDI page) to rotated your square code ?.

Thanks for sharing that Sam it is certainly a most interesting following discussion.

From my perspective CNC has certainly allowed me to produce stuff I would otherwise not be able to do (mainly through lack of a particular skill) and it has now totally changed the type of skills required in perhaps all areas of industry.

There was a discussion on another forum where the die hard engravers refused to believe this would have any impact on their business http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo6zw03OtWU well perhaps not right away but for all of us 'Change is right around the corner'.

Steve,

By the time I get this far into a project I have to get the guys in to empty the trash out of the skip. 

It really does require a tremendous amount of skill to put in that amount of machining without a major snafu - keep up the good work and pictures please.

Ian,

This is not my strong point (well nothing is really) but have you changed anything in your browser settings that would respond differently to the Zone adverts and banners ?.

Have you tried both IE and Firefox and is there any difference ?. (I use Firefox).

Ian,

I haven't noticed any problems with page loading times.

Gerry may be able to help or throw some light on the situation.

In some ways the waste can be more interesting than the part.

Best price for a (second user) scanning head I have seen so far (with ZnSe lens) is $2,800 + import duty, tax etc. and even then the focal distance is far too short to be of much use.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to getting bargains

I trust that is a genuine license that you bought.
