I am using C:mcamxcnc_machineslathes c-axis Slant bed.lmd.
I am trying to prove to a customer that Mastercam is the software that he needs to buy with our machines.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your input. I will print this out and read all of them in are meeting. Please keep adding to this form. I will use all your information to come up with the right controller for are machines.

Which controller do you prefer and why.
Reason for asking: I work for Vanguard Machine and we are trying to determine if the cost difference is worth going ahead and ordering the machines with the 18 controller.
Troy,
The machine will run a program perfectly, but the problem is getting a program loaded. Before we can hit send on our shop link, the control errors out because of the "h"'s on the screen.
Do you know what part it is that causes the "h"'s?
I can make it type lower and upper case "h". and any other letter will do the same. But when you type something on the screen it will put lower case "h" mixed in with the edit. If you are stand in at the control watching it, it puts a lower case "h" on the screen every 2 seconds. If you hit reset it clears the "h"'s and starts all over again.
Thanks for your help
We have a VF5 that was made in 6-99. The controller keeps typing lower case "h" across the bottom of the screen. We have figured out that it is not a button stuck because it would type Upper case. I really need this machine. Is there anybody out there that has had this problem and knows a quick fix to it?
I would like to all so say that this forum is one of the greatest tools I have every come across on the net. There is alot of great guys on here that i learn from on a dailt basis. Thank you all.
Weare needing help from somebody out there. I need and eagle that I can scale, project and engrave onto a lid of a custom made smoker. We are making a smoker and donating it to a local highschool. They are the Brock Eagles.
Is there anybody out there that can help us?
Thanks,
Dan
