Hi All,
I spent 2 years learning CNC and programing at a small high precision (titanium/inconell) shop doing oilfield work. My old boss let me learn 3axis milling on EZ-Cam running Fanuc controlled VMCs. Ive since left the shop to move to a bigger company making much more money. Well anyway, I have a buddy thats willing to give me a Mori-Seiki MV-35 VMC. Its a little rough, but it all works and has the Fanuc controll im used to. My questions are, can I import .jpeg images to create tool paths to engrave logos and such? Is there a way I can use different fonts do engrave text on EZ-Cam? I havent bought the software yet or even gotten the mill yet, but just trying to get some ideas in my head. Also, is it possible to machine O/D threads on a round male part on the 3axis? Heres a picture of kinda what im talking about.

IF not, how would that part be made on a 3 axis or would it have to be 5axis of some sort?
