hi, what kind of mastercam's post can I use?

[radioshack7]

@Mecanico78 I'm not sure. Sometimes you can use a generic 3 axis mill or Fanuc post. I'd love to use Mastercam but it would cost more than all my CNC's combined :-)

I hope you put some critter guard on it. Would be interesting to see you make some sort of screen holder that can snap on to the end of the exhaust.

[radioshack7]

@startreking2007 Very true. It's protected by being behind the crawl space vent. I stapled screen to the wood as well. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the comment!

can this cut aluminium and Mild steel?

[radioshack7]

@xXvapourXx Aluminum yes.  I haven't tried steel yet.

is that Bosch GMF 1400? If it is, what is the diameter of the body? (in the area where you place it in the clamps of your cnc)

[radioshack7]

@RockNRoLLLDudes It's a Bosch 1617. The diameter is 3.5 inches. Cheers

How about a series... covering CNC for motorsports? Custom fabricated parts for BMWs, perhaps?

[radioshack7]

@TXcodeDesigner We might be able to come up with something :-)
