I’m not saying CIM isn’t useful, but as it is taught in my school the milling machine isn’t very useful to the course. As students we don’t deal with the problems you mentioned. Our instructors make us turn the clamp on manually before we even run the program so that never becomes an issue. The one time the endmill broke for us the instructor sent the students back to their computers and tried to fix it herself. Also the order and direction of cuts isn’t all that important when you’re cutting a simple design(most people did their initials), which is all we ever cut on the milling machine. We were actually supposed to cut out projects from MasterCAM, but after a student ran into problems getting the program to do what it was supposed to do the instructors decided to abandon that without even giving the student a chance to try to get it to work.

I also realize that CNC can do a lot of useful things, but I had been told that the proLIGHT couldn’t cut much more than the wax or wood without some sort of accessories.
