Re: 4-AXIS FOAM CUTTER

Hi Carlos,

I would think ANY that support 4 axis. You might have to rename the
axis, but, it could work! My mind is still reeling from trying to
visualize cutting a foam wing, but I think I can get around the foam
letters now! And Vector CAD/CAM can generate the XYUV code!

I have no idea, is there a lot of Amateur CNC Machinists wanting to do
this hot-wire and wire-EDM machining?

I have long been impressed with our ability to machine the "screw" on a
modern nuclear submarine! OK, so I was on one, and I've fancied someday
being able to cut one on my CNC machine (OK, a SIMPLE ONE)!
