I am shocked that Trubo CNC does not have g70 g71 roughing finish canned cycles! At least thats what I heard. If this is true, I think I may go to mach 2 or 3 over turbo CNC what do you guys think? I personally think that canned cycle saves ooooodddles of time if you don't have a CAM program, although I do I don't like using the lathe portion of matercam, its very weird IMO. So let me know guys!

oh btw im deep in the middle of a conversion with member Rotary, Great guy knows tons fo stuff! You might know him from his Site Wrathall

Its going to be ballscrews with
Automation Direct $39!!! :banana: 276oz steppers
controlled by 2 xylotex boards.
Powered by a Automation Direct 32VDC 4A Powersupply
I just ordered a Parallel Port Card from CNC4PC.com

I ahve attached some pics ofa few of the parts that have been made so far
The x axis stepper NEMA 23 mount, a pic of powersupply and drive cover. Hope you enjoy oh btw im still in need of limit switches/homing switches any suggestions? I don't know anything about those things.

I made the parts on a Komo VMC x travel 144"(12ft)x y axis 20" at work

I make some big stuff

One more quicky question. Has anyone changed out the motor in there Siege Lathe I have a Homier and wouldn't mind adding a little more boost, say a 1.5hp tread mill motor? Would it work, or would the thing need a new controller and all that? Thanks
