The surgeon had planned on one from a cow but ultimately went with one from a pig. (That's a real hoot because both he and myself are observant Jews
Anyway, best wishes to in your endeavors and also wishing you and your's a very Merry Christmas and a most Happy New Year.
My valve is a pig valve as well and now my wife tells me I can’t eat bacon any more because that would make me a cannibal.
Yes, I will continue to share my knowledge here. I rather enjoy helping people learn how to run these machines. I am however, kind of a dinasaur in that I don’t know Path Pilot. I’m still using Mach III. I understand the FANUC style programming.
I told Andy once if they’d like me to use Path Pilot, send me a control computer and if I like it I’ll pay for it. If I don’t like it I’ll send it back. He said he’d look into it and I’ve never heard another word about it.
