    Visit to Camaster

    I am planning a trip to Camaster to investigate and drool over a mini cobra. I plan to drive to either Trenton or La Fayette the afternoon of the 18th and be at Camaster the morning of the 19th. I am looking forward to meeting Joey and the guys. I have been reading the forum for a number of months.

    Since my friend and I bought a used Shop Sabre (he has it in his shop) I have been thinking of either upgrading my home built router or buying one. The mini cobra has caught my eye. I am investigating the feasibility of buying after all I am just a hobbyist and not in business. My friend is the business one. I just like to play.

    Jim, if you are available and are of a mind, it would nice to meet you.

    Till the 19th,

    Russ

    Hi Jim,

    I registered for the camheads site a couple of weeks ago but still can't see the pictures.

    I talked to Joey this morning and am looking forward to visiting on the 19th. Sounds like there may be a lot of possibilities with the options available.

    We are having pretty good sucess with the shopsabre and wincnc. Wincnc is still an irritation on some things, Joey said he would help me out while I'm there.

    you should be good to go on the site. If there are any questions that need to be taken care of with wincnc just drop me a e-mail. And if you can hook that pc up to the net if it is not and download a program called crossloop. I can look at your files if you would like. i am looking forward to the 19th

    I sure hope ya'll have a good heating system. I just looked at the weather for La Fayette and it was 23 degrees and falling.

    Salt the roads and put out the smudge pots. I'll be heading your way.

    I am looking forward to seeing you Monday morning.

    I am back home from my trip and want to thank Joey, Jim and Paul for their hospitality and patience for all my questions. I am hoping to have everything together to put a machine on order shortly. I am highly impressed with construction and quality of the machines.
