General Mach Discussion / Re: Which CAD/CAM software for newbie

« on: May 16, 2009, 12:34:10 AM »

as jewellers the majority of people i know buy mills to give us back time.. its supposed to be a one button solution to our problems..  load model, hit cycle start and have a beer on the bench.. instead we sit watching the damn thing...

I recently did an install.. went clockwork.. mill up, trammed, dialed in, cutting test parts.. customer (lovely young lady) sat watching the mill do its thing.. nonstop for hours... mwahahahahhaahha another addict!!

What happens if you write a short G code program with the M98 call?
