I am looking at a machine with a Heidenhain TNC 426 control on it.
The machine seems OK, but i am not familiar with the pro's and cons of the control. Does anybody know the heidenhain TNC 426 family of controls? Can parts for them still be obtained?
On one spec sheet that i saw it seems like the control is a conversational unit that does not require the user to use G gode. I use only Gcode to program at the moment and also use mastercam and bob cad to generate code so i would not like to switch to anything other than gcode.
Would this machine still un gcode in the background?
Would you buy a machine with this control?
Thank you
Pieter
