Ya know what? I have the weirdest boner right now.

@D34Df007 actually ya u could definitely blend with it
-
i think this is awesome and all, but i have one question: will it blend?
-
@CNCx1 how much is a 4-axis milling machine?
-
HA! AND THEY SAID YOU NEEDED 5 AXIS TO MAKE AN IMPELLER!
-
@Aev308 Yes Truly sucks that mastercam is not user friendly like auto cad! I agree with you totally!
-
@diyengineer cut2d/3d are cam programs, somewhat expensive (200 each or 350 for both or so), and made by vectric, but much cheaper than something like mastercam. I haven't tried out anything else, so I don't have any comparison, but they do work well. My favorite feature is preview, and you can see how your part is going to be cut out. You can download a trial (for both), and there are some demo parts you can do. How I'd explain it is that 2d is extrusions and 3d is curves

@krap101 What is cut 2D/3D is that the cam program? Free or how much? Easy to use?
-
@diyengineer I use cut2d/cut3d with mach 3 and inventor... if it matters :P
-
@Aev308 I think mach 3 imports text files with g-code in them. I use inventor with pdf's, dxf's, or stl's
What software did you use to generate g-code?

with mach3 can you import files from autocad? I know how to draw 3d parts in multiple cam programs, but I'm much better with autocad, and can't afford mastercam.

What kind of lathe is that?
Are you controlling the lathe thru Mach?
