Re: Random Request Help LHS Building Trades Class
We are very lucky to have a district who still believes in Career Technology and it's contribution to learning. This CNC is a 3-axis currently (part of the prize will go towards making it a 4-axis router ). It can run a 4x8 sheet and we have a proble that can scan a part, convert it to the G codes and then duplicate it.

The day it was delivered the kids all kinda went...meh...but there were 5 adults who sat and watched it for two hours as it was set up and then ran its first cuts...and yes, I was one of the five

Just based on this, now I wish I had the money to drop into something like this... One day... Hopefully... Maybe...

Re: Random Request Help LHS Building Trades Class
I guess doing it by hand gives you a better of what the CNC has to do in order to try and mimic the human mind

Don't get me wrong, the things that machines can do now in helping to save lives as well as making a better life for all is well worth it.

Re: Random Request Help LHS Building Trades Class
Trust me.. We are very lucky to have a knee mill that can do circles. One of the students today decided to pull out the programming manual to see if he could code a part by hand. Time to break out the floppy discs and serial adapters...

Apparently Windows 7 forgot what floppy disks are. 3/4 of the computers I attempted to copy files onto a floppy with locked up. Time to go back to good old Windows 98!
