Re: To CNC? Or not to CNC?

eric195 please stop mouthing off. But anyways, I would seriously recommend finding a local shop that has a nice Bridgeport (or similar) and try it out. It does take more time to do, but will mostly likly save your whole team much time in trying to make stuff.

and as eric195 said, we do have 2 Mini Cnc's and 4 milling machines. these are all veryoild, and heavly abused. most of the decks are ~.05 off, and all the endmill the school has are broken. Even with with these Supermax's(that the brand,i laugh everytime i say it) we were able to make most of our robots parts. Tooks a fair amount of time,but alot less than trying to set up the CNC correctly.
