Re: CNC Machines

Someone in our district found some Ed. Materials Budget money back in '03 and we bought a really small benchtop 4-axis CNC from Microkinetics which can make small gearboxes and such with a max on the y-axis at 3.75" and 8" on the X. Then this past fall we became an ROP Robotics class and they bought a CNC Jr. 3-axis mill that can go up to 8" on the Y and 15" on X. Our students learn how to design a part in Inventor, make a Drawing, and then handwrite the G-code from that. A while back I talked a distributor into giving us an evaluation copy of MasterCAM, but it was only good for 6 months. Oh the things that can be done with some good software.
