Suck about your friend Greg. Good that you at least tried to help.

 

Oh for sure. I guess we aren't used to cnc's. I didn't mind the programming aspect of it and seeing the end results.
This course basically makes you put the material in, hit a button and walk away. Programming is another course.

 

Yeah, hope Keith didn't fall under the lift bridge and fall prey to a Troll.

 

Lmao! Great minds think alike

 

UGH. Button pushing sucks puss *****.
Tell him if he can get a print-out of the program, he can teach himself how to program pretty easily.

 

 

I definitely will. What cnc's do you have? Mazaks? Haas?

 

Mori-Seiki with Fanuc controls.

 

Nice. So you program as well?

 

Yup. Haven't done much 3-D stuff, but most everything else. Knowing how to actually "make" something manually though really makes CNC stuff a bit easier. Having that base of knowledge in your back pocket is indispensible. You can do a lot of stuff on a CNC that "can" be done manually, but it will be easier and faster on the CNC.
I'Ve seen a lot of "programmers" fail at making stuff because they really don't know how.
