Katie,

 

 

"Use the forum young reseller", Jimmy 'Darth' Wakeford.

 

This is a customer that we currently have quoted and they are looking at VX software. Which by the way looks awesome on screen, but from what we have learned does not toolpath very well.

 

If you are familar with VX and MC maybe you could tell them the difference.

 

 

Thanks

Jimmy

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Rekd,

 

Out here its more like a smack on that ol' bald head, But we'll take care it. (Ask him 'bout 4 wheeling the other week.)

 

This is his/Sam's deal, and according to Trevor VX is asmoke and mirrors software.

 

Thanks

Jimmy

Hey Greg,

 

Just to get one thing straight, Jimmy posted this thread on my name, I had nothing to do with it. I'm so happy that you are getting a new job. How did the boss man take it?

 

Jimmy- what's up with the star wars theme?

 

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

 

Katie the boss lady!

It applies to both.

 

Boss man is upset. They are working on a offer to propose to me to get me to stay, I said I would listen, but my mind is 99.999% made up. I can't pass up this amazing offer at Nutrica. I will have control over the entire shop, and I get to work by myself. (for now anyway) Has J.M. ordered the maintenance agreement yet?

 

Hope you all at Barefoot have a very Merry Christmas and a safe New year.

 

Jimmy- I still want to know what a "geeterhead" is!

You guys were talking about a CAM package called

VX??? I thought you were talking about

Mastercam V10. Some people on this forum call

MCV10 "VX"

I've never heard of this VX stuff

Greg,

 

Good Luck with Nutricia, Wes seems like a really nice guy to work for. But then again, I also said that about Jimmy...lol...jk Jimmy! But really, you will have a good time....hope you have a great new year, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Gcode,

The Vx on this thread is NOT V10! It is another attempt from a competitor to confuse prospects. Like the one who's sogan is

"The New Masters In Cam".

 

OH! I am sorry. Did you get slammed into oblivion By Ben "th'Man" Mund? Well go home and ask your mommie for an original slogan.

 

Jimmy teh "why do they lie???"

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

OK guys I have replied to the mms thread with a resounding "BRING IT ON BIG MAN" in true redneck Barefoot fashion.

 

They (from what I hear) fall short on the nc side.

That would be MecSoft's VisualMill.

I downloaded the demo and tried it.

Its a cute toy, but I wouldn't want to make a living with it.

Who are these clowns with the nerve to call themselves "VX" ???

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

[Scott Bond]

Hi all

Hi socklessjimmyjoe ,,At first I was impressed with the 35 years experince,,until I relized that I have 37 years experiance by myself.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

James,

 

Was no cad/cam hundred years ago.

 

just kidding. I had a prospect point something like that out to me one time and thought I'd croak laughing.

 

Thats why our website just says iover ten years.

 

34? Thats still older than me.

 

Jimmy

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Gcode,

 

The post I put on mms says to get us both to cut a part. Barefoot has a very wide range of talents, and we can cut a part on any machine. I hope that the smoke and mirrors pitch does not win out though.

 

There are getting to be more and more competitors in cad cam, and they all compare themselves to MC for some reason. I get so aggrevated when I hear something like "They say you can hold print up to screen and it makes the program", or something equally impossible.

 

Now when it comes to cutting a part the competion wants money for post and programming time. Or my FAVORITE'"Oh, we dont cut metal e just sell software." (Get your non meal cutting butt out of my shop cause we cut metal)

[godzillia_dude]

VX will make some nice pictures and supposedly will do some CAE as well as "CAD that rivals AutoCad". I demoed it; I compared it to Mastercam; I compared it with AutoCad. My result: I drop kicked VX (btw, I really don't use AutoCad any more; I just use Mastercam ). HTH

It's actually closer to 50 years, but they thought that might be a stretch. Oh, BTW, that 50 years is between Jay and Matt...
