Program it in the house, machine it in the shop. How?
« on: October 30, 2009, 12:36:45 AM »
My shop is cold. I want to do most of my computer work in the house. Then take the results to the shop to produce. How do I do this without two copies of Mach 3?

I'd use a cad/cam to produce the tool path code and then save it on a network drive or thumb drive to load in my machine. You can have a second copy of Mach in your house too and simulate the run. Art and Brian are great about that.

Thank you. That sounds like a good plan.
