Re: Centroid CNC

I bet thats gonna be one awesome machine. And, thats an awesome link to the CNC stuff. Modern Machine Shop's "Handbook for the Metalworking Industries" has a whole section on CNC and G Codes for lathes and mills, in reference format. Its a great book in general too, for all sorts of info about materials, threads, etc. Our school just got a Prolight 1000 mill for our Project Lead the Way CIMs course. Anyone have experience with that machine? The teacher and I are still wiring it up and such. I worked in a machine shop over the summer using full size stuff, which was absoultly awesome, so im really excited to incorperate the cnc to our robotics. Youve gotta keep us up to date on your learning progress with the CNC.
