    Going to leap from X2...to Tree VMC 1060 - advice!

    Hello -

    been having a great time with the little benchtop x2 with belt drive, steppers, Gecko drive and Mach3, etc.

    I've found a good deal on a machine locally - somewhat bigger than what I had planned to jump to - but - I can afford it, and have the space so I'm going for it.

    Question (for starters) for those that might know - how will I program said machine? The control system is Autocon Dynapath 10 - and I currently build files from CamBam...

    Tips appreciated.

    You'll likely find more info in the Tree forum.

    Thanks Hoss...thought of that right after posting here.

    Before I go from Benchtop to Tree - thoughts? All in (with moving/rigging) I'll be <$10K but was still considering that I might be smarter to go with something intermediate between the x2 and Tree!

    If I were wealthy it would be a Haas machine, new...but I'm not.
