As I said before, given your willingness and desire, I think the C6 could be just the thing for your smaller parts. Expect cycle times to be measured in minutes rather than seconds and expect to experiment...a lot.
Depending on what software you use, the G & M codes will be the same as on industrial machines.
I think that you would be wise to do your research on the sources I gave you for hobby type CNC lathes, give yourself plenty of time to scrutinize, think & rethink your decision. Think some more. If after a month you are sure that you still want to plunk down the $5000 or more to purchase the machine, plus about $1-2000 more to properly tool up for the parts you wish to make, then by all means. If things don't go as planned, as least you have a toy you now are familiar with and know how to use. You own it, not the bank. |
