Hi, I am a newbie here and don't know where to post this or exactly what to ask but here goes. I was in aircraft part machining for a number of years in the late 70's to late 80's. We were a small job shop running Hurco mills (older single screen) and one Cincinnati Milicron machining center. Long story short I just decided to get back in and purchased a Hitachi Seike HC400 center. It looks like it is capable of doing what we need to do but any knowledgable experts out there on this old thing (87 model)? My first question involves suggestions on offline programming software to keep me from punching it in manually at the keyboard. Know issues etc etc. Like I say I don't even know what to ask in total at this time but it looks like there is lots of brainpower on this site. Thanks guys for any and all help. : ) Rick
