Any X5 version on the horizon ? Well, I couldn't wait, Someone has to ask, right? I go way back to X3 and I'm so dang smart I need to know when I can get X5 Mastercam, (I like how X4 trims), It can't hurt to ask, because my money says it won't be that long !!

Peel mill cycle/ I never heard of it until now. Yes I am old school but it's so great to learn new things. Thanks for posting this "situation". Learning is always deeply rooted in unfortunate events. I never heard of Bearing failurte for not making enough table travel over a long period of time. That is mfg. design of machine flaw. What a terrible way to have your CNC mill fail by simply "USING IT NOT ENOUGH". I will make it a good practice to take some time to Jog the machine to stroke it's axis when doing "STATIONARY" work. I won't feel like it's wasting time by flushing chips and jogging the stroke of the ways, I usually do this because I like to keep it set-up ready and Quick clean condition, but I felt guilty about uneccessarily stopping the cycle times. Now I am prolonging bearing life as well as reducing the mess. I really wish you a great turn around in your situation, you will see that this DOWN TIME is relevant to your EXPERIENCE UPGRADE.

create circle. That is a hole.

I am taking Mastercam class and i have heard that there is a "Cheap"$$ Demo available for students. No G Codes and Posting, but Geometry can be saved and also toolpaths generated, but not sure if they are saved also. Can anyone supply a reference to where to get a Demo? Thanks, I am doing well in the class, but some "Home Study" will be very helpful. When I become more proficient, My Boss will be more willing to buy the real deal.

thanks for the information, I will really get to use these after I get through my N.T.M.A. (California) State funded training class. These will also be better to do at home, on my own time. Again, so helpfiul, I wish this website will keep going.

Chicks dig the new X3 guys. Think that'll work?

Sometimes you just get that "Special tretment" Smile and the world smiles with you. remember H.R. Knows when you've been a bad boy, so be good.
