hi I,m hoping some can give me some advice, I,m based in Germany and looking to buy a cheap CNC router, either a table or pod & bar machine, I don,t want to spend a fortune, 10-15k euros. I want to be able to use Mastercam with the machine which I have experiance with in conjunction with Solidworks. I have been offered a few good, cheap and can been seen working older machines, the first is a SCM Routmat2 using the NUM750 controller, this is a very good condition machine and I have seen a video of it working, although I haven,t been to see it yet. The only problem with it is finding a Mastercam post processor to use with it. My question is do such post processor exsit for these older machines? if so where do I get one? I have a file with about 30 different Mastercam processors but will any work with this machine? or is it a process of trial and error until one works. The other machine which I have been offered is a MAKA 552 from 1992, all the dealer could tell me was that it has a "Heckler & Koch 785" control system. Again the same question, can I get a Mastercam post processor to work with this machine? Any advice most welcome.
Regards Richard.
