Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Cirular interpolation

Did Ah-ha ever get their Continuous Contouring Ironed out ??

I had great results with the robustness and dependability with the Ah-ha
system. But, without decent contouring, it was not so hot for our Flatbed
Router.

Seems like a good control for a milling machine.

Hopefully they have that contouring issue fixed by now.

Lastly, I always felt that The Ah-ha Interface was one of the better DOS
interfaces to look at and use. Nice crisp lines and buttons. Lot's different
than the one that looks like a 3 year old got loose with his Crayons !
