Hey Robert, I have heard about your shop I think. Did you have some Monarch CNC's rebuilt a while back? I am not discouraged, just curious. I am a bit bummed that I have not had the oppurtunity to do 5 axis work. But with working in a mold shop as a moldmaker/CNC Programmer that is just the way it goes.

Sounds good. If I decide to do this I will contact them.

Thanks everyone for the replies and welcomes. I am a CNC Programmer/Moldmaker and have been using Mastercam for the last 8 years or so. I feel that I am a good programmer, but not on 5 axis stuff. We only have Vertical mills where I work. I don't know if this is quite what I am looking for, but we have been slow at work and it seems to be getting more and more frequent that we have these slow times. What does a seat of Mastercam cost these days? I haven't even checked into that, just kind of thinking out loud here.

I have kind of been kicking around the idea of trying to find some programming to do on the side away from my normal job. Is there very much work out there?
