I recently bought a Partner 1, and would like to find a relatively cheap CAM software. The monitor says it has a Centurion 6 controller when it powers up, but another thread said the Centurion 6 controllers are white, mine is black. Is there a better way to communicate with the CNC than the floppy drive without too much trouble?
I am relatively new to machining (I understand simple G and M code) is there anything I need to watch out for with this machine, any parts I need to keep on hand, etc.?
