Ok---I was putting off buying it because I didn't want to slow down the machines from what I can run in Mach 3. I would sure like to hear what improvements anyone has had once they converted.

Thank-you,

Was hoping to keep at least 200 IPM, but thats heading in the right direction.

Hey BAMCNC

Agreed that more RPM would be a great thing..I don't really want to mess around with that right now. My programs might run for a few hours, and RAPIDS are extremely important with the...

Thanks...I will look into that...

Cheers,

I hear what you are saying....

For the size of work I do Tormach is a great answer to that. I enjoy the machine very much, but as CNC machinist for over 25 years, I have experience running all the...

Well---of course I want accuracy and repeatability as well. Addition of glass scales could be an advantage.

I am open to hearing ideas.....

Thanks for the response,
Jim

Surely someone out there has a current address for Novakon....someone who recently purchased from them??

Thanks,
Jim

Does anyone have a current address for Novakon. They moved from the Gibson Ave address.

Thanks,
Jim
