Hi paul, What would you like to know about the multicam?

thanks for replying,
i am at a very early stage.i have a pc connected to the machine,it has a drawing and tool path program loaded in it(this was used in the previous shop). that is where my knowledge stops.i will find out today what the programs are .so the machine is a cam tech with tool path for windows 98 and coreldraw 11

Hi Paul You are (kind of) where i was 3 years ago. Wanted to understand CNC Routers and/or Milling. For me i just watched a lot of videos of different people building the machines and then researched the parts on what they were, did , cost, how they functioned, also what there limits were, i.e differnent wood cutting speeds and feeds and second S&F link, i also looked at the different cutting heads and what was available and what work best for each material.
It will take time. I also found that anything i can Mill, I can route. so don't just limit yourself to Routing. Also it might help to get a few local links for companies that sell parts that you might need. I collected quiet a few, and also various other links.

Sorry if i have not been very helpful.
