Re: pic: Gus's CNC hard at work Pic2

We have a Morei Seiki mv35/40 from the mid 80's and it originally used punch cards and magnetic tape for gcode. Now we have a usb to serial converter and use Mastercam X5 or X6 (don't remember which, possibly both). If you think yours is a pain to set up, be thankful. It's a beast of a machine and we have used it for 90% of our frame this year. Hopefully we can set up gcode "drip feed" (it only has enough memory to run parts of parts at once. We also have a 4th axis we haven't set up but may use in the off season of this year.
