Re: Programming Slo-Syn SS20001 with SS2000D6

Andy, you are spot on. For those simple jobs that don't warrant a full blown CAD/CAM Gcode effort, you still have a manual machine with DRO and power feed. Those two features alone are IMHO very under-rated and in my case easily worth the price of admission.

The larger problem that will limit me is flexing of the shaft I will be cutting (which is only 0.1" in dia.).
