We are working on a package with Bill Glenn for the above machine. So far this is what we are looking at"
4x8 Table
15hp vac
Dust skirt
96" rotary lathe
5 hp HSD Spindle
Tool Changer
Digitizer probe
Larger servo motors on all axis
And for software, after much consideration we are looking at changing from KCDW to Cabinetpro cnc, which in my estimation is just as capable or more capable than KCDW at a much lower price.
Other software that we are looking at is Rhino for doing the 4th axis work plus RhinoArt for signs, reliefs etc. I downloaded the demo for everything late last night and hope to get some time with it between the customer drawings I have to get done today,my daughters piano recital and the Super Bowl.
One question I have is whether the basic Rhino with the 4th axis add on is sufficient for columns, Newel posts etc or whether the extra features in RhinoCam Pro is the way to go. Soooo confusing.

Is this package close to what you have coming or did you go a different way? |
