    I give up

    Okay, I give up. I'm under the impression that Ajax simply does not want my money. Requests for simple info go unanswered, I can't get anybody on the phone, etc. As a small business I really don't...

    Ajax CNC business problems???

    Hi all,

    Basically, I've been trying to get ahold of the folks at Ajax CNC for over a week now. I've left messages and sent emails, made a dozen calls between their main line and their support...
  6. Poll: Uhm, none of the above?

    None of the above. We work safely in my shop. If we're unsure, we seek help. Working in an unsafe manner gets you terminated on the spot. The only accident we've had in the last two years was...

    Sorry, guy...

    Sorry guy,

    I don't think anybody here is willing to help you get your illegal copy up and going. We'd be an accessory to a crime.

    Either get a legal copy from mastercam.com or figure it out...

    If mastercam wasn't $16k a copy, it just might be my favorite. All I can afford is BobCad. The new version looks just like MasterCAM 10 to me.

    60k a year in New Mexico (near the national labs) as a CNC machinist. I charge $50/hr to the national laboratories to pay my guys and the electricity, etc. We're a LOT cheaper than the competition!

    I refuse to be abused. 40 hours and that's it. If that's not enough, there aren't enough employees or there is too much work, or both. Don't be a sucker, guys!

    Yes, I will list every part I used, price, and where I obtained the part. I'll even include the exact step motors I used. Give me a week or so to retrieve copies of all my invoices.

    I'll also...

    Poll: I gave gecko another shot...

    Well, after my previous negative experience (being completely ignored) I decided to give Gecko another shot. Man am I happy I did. I pretty much standardized on designing around the G203V drivers...
  15. Poll: Those are so tiny!

    3/4" end or bull mills for hogging, sometimes larger depending on the part. For really fine stuff I obviously need smaller cutters. I do use quite a few 0.150" end mills for milling 1/4" holes.

    If you (Gecko drive folks) are making an attempt to straighten out your e-mail system, then perhaps I will reconsider my previous statement. When dealing with companies I know to check my spam box...

    Yes, you can engrave. The question is "why" ? Using photographic techniques is infinitely faster and and will get you much higher resolution (the cutter will tear thin traces off the board). I use...

    laser engraver problem

    Why not call the manufacturer? Seriously, even if it's used and out of warranty the amount of time on the phone with them to get this problem fixed will be measured in minutes instead of the hours...
