HI, new member been lurking for acouple of weeks
I have a limited engineering background in school then in collage then did a centre lathe government traing course (giving my age away) then i worked in a few factories on various machines lathes mills and grinding machines but that was 30 years ago
Recently got an old myford ml4 which needs some work so not started any projects yet but hope to by this weekend
form all the projects i have read on here i realise i will need a mill as well and have decided from reading i would like a cnc mill maybe not to start but one i can covert
I have looked at some of the vidieos and stuff
i quite like the idea of drawing a part making a 2d/3d image and the machineing it maybe 2d to start with
Not asking which products to use as have read many posts on here
was more conserned with the sequence of events from idea to part
cam/can/cnc what stages these programs cover as the list here is long can all these proceedures be done with one program or is this not possible due tothe cost of the softwear
hope this makes sense and please excusespelling never was any good at that
cheers brian
