Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Need to upgrade controls

It was a 8025M 4 axis mill control for a friends commercial router. He has
an old Fanuc 5M that he's been wanting to upgrade for a while now to get 3
axis moves. I haven't been able to convince him to try anything but a
commercial controller. The Fanuc is now giving erroneous moves, cutting arcs
backwards at times and ruining parts so he hasn't been able to use it and is
down to one router. He's given up trying to find the problem, none of his
support people have been able to track down the problem. He doesn't need
anything fancy or conversational. Uses Mastercam for all his programming.
Just a 3 axis control with a few M code outputs for spindle controls, 3
heads.
