Maybe so Thad.

Well I have a custom post and I have no idea how to get it to be the active post in surfcam. Not sure which files to put where. The computer was set up and running when I took the job and it has since crashed so now I have to get it set up on a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I sure do miss using MasterCam.

any one out there using surfcam? I have had to change to it from mastercam and would like to ask a question?

Still here for now and I would like to thank everyone for all the great information, tips, and tricks that I have picked up along the way. This is a forum that is second to none.

Thanks for the reply Mold100. Im sure it will be a big change for me. It will be mostly 5 axis programming. Im looking at it as being a chance to learn another software.

Thanks Millman, I appreciate the reply. I will give it my best shot on changing over to mastercam.

I have a great opportunity to change jobs. The only problem is they use surfcam. I just want to know how close is surfcam to mastercam? Will it be close enought that the learning time will be minimal or big enough that it will take a long time? Any replies will be appreciated. Dont send the flame thrower this way, I have no choice on their software.

Thanks for all the replies. I will check them out and see if I can come up with a decision on what I need to do. Thanks again to everyone.

I have used the proto track lathe about 6 or 7 years back but have not used the mill. I will check it out.

I am looking to retro fit a new bridgeport style mill and just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on what to go with. I have not had much experience with the retro fit mills. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regular is 1.69 here. I will have to walk if it gets to 2.00.

We just got one here at the school with live tooling, It seems to be a pretty good machine. I will let you know for sure in about six months. If it holds up in school it will hold up any where.

Now, i like the resume. It is a good one and besides Bush just looks like a rat. just my opinion

I had a problem with mine when i first started using it with version 8. I had to uncheck the (I think it is) create arcs in the filter. Stopped all the problems.
