Hi guys
Am new to The Zone and CnC I build professional loudspeakers and am looking to build a router to replace me.I do alot of routing by hand with templates,sometimes weeks on end.Besides taking ten times longer than by machine and doing this for 35 years ,my back &every joint aches. I really need a machine.The zone has been a wealth of information.Being a small business I am quite capable of building a machine, I have knowlege of electronics I can understand servos,drives linear rails etc.BUT SOFTWARE is killing me.I just dont get it.Is it true you cant teach old dogs new tricks.I think it is true.People {in the business}[of selling routers] say its easy.I know other people over 50 in the business and they dont know how to run their machines.They have to pay someone to program for them.
On a hurmorous note:
If you dont know how to program a VCR,should you not be thinking of building a router?
If you dont know how to retrive your cell phone messages are you a lost CnC cause???? Wow i recently learned how to put phone#s in the memory maybe I am not alost cause.
Can you open CD cases without breaking them?
Any hoo is their other old farts out there with duh to softwar[software]???
What I am trying to ask is where do you start?What cad cam etc. is easy?
Just had a thought, maybe should take a course this fall.Dont know why I just figured this out.You know older people are slow.
Hope this was a little funny .Iam never too serious
One more non CNC I am over 50,My wife is 28, have no problems there.
