Re: pic: FRC228 Tormach CNC Mill

So first I am jealous. That looks like a cool machine.

I also like the Vetric software - I use it with my Shopbot Handibot - It is simple and lets you quickly lay out most tool paths.

For the person looking to buy a machine, I saw the Buddy when I was down at Shopbots factory for training in Oct. It also looks like a great machine.
While I can't speak for the Buddy I do have a Handibot (Shopbots portable CNC machine) and the quality of their machines is top notch. I also really like that they are small, personable and so far have had great customer support. They let local FIRST teams come in and use there really big production machines.
