Do you use Matercam or similar software? |
Hi Zeekh
I have a TM-2 as well. I just purchased it. We run Haas Minimills and a VF3 with 4th and 5th axis options. The TM-2 is a good machine for our shop. We needed a machine that was open and more accessible then the macining centers. It is great for odd shaped parts. We also have a 4th axis 5C collet dividing head on it. With programming we use BobCadCam and G-code on the machine. Any questions on this ask away.
