You guys need to be nicer! We finally got a 1000 with an 850SX controller 2 years ago. Took me almost 3 years to talk them into buying that. Everyone here thought the 2 axis acers with AcuRite controlls were good enough. Came here after 19 years in aerospace.(kind of a wake up call!)Just make sure the 850 has continuous load, otherwise you'll be spending 2/3 of your time breaking programs up into small enough bites for the memory. Oh well, it took almost a year to get them to buy Mastercamafter we got the machine. Still haven't gotten to take any training yet but getting by so far. I guess they figured the last place trained me on UG so I should just jump right in. BTW I like asteram much better so far.

I was being nice. I could really torch it up if I wanted to.

Cinci controls are a real NICE boat anchor. once there at the bottom of the lake theres no need to pull it back up. someones always got another one to give you

Just joshin... I do agree. Just have to live with what we got. It sure wasn't my first choice.(as if they cared what I wanted anyway)

Whatever you do don't get a Cincy with Fanuc control. Our Pennsylvania shop did and they are having severe problems. It was offered up as a simple option. They took it and rumor (now) has it there has only been three sold with Fanuc.
