Is there an HTML setup sheet for the lathe? If so, where can I find it?

 

Thanks

It looks good to me.

 

Is it customizable?

 

Why is the mill Setup Sheet free and we have to pay for this one?

 

Thanks

[Allan Brown]

It can only be customized through a chargeable customization service.

 

Work went into both versions. The free one is a loss leader for the customization service. And because I'm a good guy.

 

Invested a lot of time on the new one. A few C-Hooks are part of the suite to support the functionality we needed (thanks Bullines). I think it worth charging for.

Good question. I was wondering that as well.

Did I hear you correct when you said it handles multiple nci destinations in one file?

Yep. What we've been referring to as a single 'composite NCI file' created from all ops, regardless of NCI destination.

 

Regarding pricing, I guess you need to understand that the HTML Setup Sheet is not a CNC Software products. It's a 3rd party product like a translator, C-Hook, post, etc. Fair pricing makes the product obtainable while supporting innovation and product development.

/Bullines looks terrified as he pays bills and student loan while wondering if someone will ever suggest a fair price that isn't $0

Good one Dave. That one itself, is worth some cash.

[MachineSMMC]

$250 Sounds reasonable to me also. Who do I need to order it from?

 

Thanks

[Harryman]

Bump.

 

Will this work for the Integrex?

[McRae]

Cost suggestion - as indicated earlier, the customization post part is chargable and by the same token, this customization will be user preference/Machine dependant so what I would suggest is to up the cost of Post Mods slightly and include this as extra value in that process. Differentiates you from the competition and adds sales like justification to the high priced help. My suggestion...

[Allan Brown]

Yes - it will work for Mill/Turn machines including the Integrex.

 

Haven't worked out all the details yet regarding purchasing/pricing. Give me a few days.

[Harryman]

Very cool.

 

We are going to be hire someone soon and a setup sheet will be very useful.

I've been doin' some guinea pig work for Dave and it is well worth the money. It makes me want to scrap my MS Word setup sheet that I've put a lot of time and effort into.

Hey Bullines, you may want to write up a quickie installer as well...

 

HTH

[Harryman]

Thanks for the demo, Dave.

 

I hope you sell them by the bushel.

 

If any of you Integrex guys are interested, I'd like to correspond a bit so that if possible we can submit improvement requests that will be complimentary rather than conflicting so Dave can offer a better off the shelf product with broad appeal for Integrexers. And hopefully save a customization buck as well.

[Allan Brown]

We're having some of the 'early adopters' test the product for a month to help iron out use and installation.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I especially dig the Multiple NCI destination support. That was the key for me. I mean man, it's CLEAN.

 

Dave I've got an idea that would add serious trickness. Stay tuned...

[Peccator]

Hey Harry. Whatcha wanna talk about? I program a 'Grex 300SY-Mark II. Email me.
