RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE MAXNC, light machines, EMCO MAIER,BOBCAD and beta interface test

John:

VectorCAD will allow you to draw ellipses, so it looks like you can use it
to draw the profile that you wish to turn. From there, you should be able to
generate G-Code that would allow a lathe to turn the profile. I don't think
that any of the CAD/CAM (the CAD is the drawing part, the CAM is the G-Code
generating part) programs here will work without any manual intervention, as
I'd assume that you would have the tool set one way to turn the long
cylindrical part of the part, and would reorient the tool to turn the top.
Fred can probably tell you how to do that part.

And, the other fellow from Alaska is right, it's a long way from your place
to Cleveland.(Strongsville is a suburb of Cleveland)

|
| I will make a list of stuff I have to sell,
|
| I don't know what a tangent is or any of the things you metioned, which is
| why I think none of the softwar works for me, I can "eyeball" what I need
| but I can barely do lng dvision and have nit needed to develp those skills
| in my work life so I slacked. Tha is why I wanted/hoped I could
| spend money
| to buy a software package that would allow me to see hat I wnanted on the
| screen, hit a switch that generatesthe Gcode, run a test part and then
| massage it til t's right. thanks for the help. I have f=goten some helpfl
| relies and some hate mail so I guess this is like most groups I have seen.
