Re: 4-AXIS FOAM CUTTER

Hi Coert,

Well, many on this list have done it, and I'm planning on it (if I can
get the new AMD host machine up)! Ray (and the EMC team) were offering
a BDI (brain dead install) disk, I would suggest that! It's my plan
(OK, one of my plans. I also intend to run CNCpro on it). Bought a
LINUX book, putting a web site up on a UNIX server, learn Microsoft's
Front Page for the web site... gotta get back to making chips!

Possibly you'd like to tell us more about the foam cutting. You are
making wings, I believe? Have you made cores for casting?

May the Swarf be with you!

P.S. I meant to write "CNCpro would WORK quite well!"
