Hi guys, just found this forum yesterday and am still trying to wade through it.
Realy impressive! I am forman of the fabrication shop in a medium sized engineering firm in north east Australia. We use a Farley cnc profile fitted with a Hypertherm 2000 and twin oxy lpg torches and a 9metre x 3 metre water bed,
(i guess thats about 10 ft x 30 ft to you guys) Metal art is my passion and am looking forward to to spending some time here and maybe getting some advise in exchange for any help i can give:cheers:

Hi bjseymour,
I live at Toowoomba. I have made a CNC plasma table. It has a cut area of about 3 meters by 2 meters. I need to get more cash to tidy it up some more.
I have a website that you can have a look at. There is a few metal art things on there.

You will find more information than you can read in a day. The software that I use from Wittlock Engineering has just released a new version for you artsy guys that you may have an interest in.

HI guys
Sorry about the delayed responce but have had gremlins in pc . New to the forum sceen as well.
I am not far from you peter, i am based in Rockhampton. Had a look at your site, very nice humming bird looks impressive. do you do your own dxf files?
after 25 years on the shop floor autocad and graphics handling software is one big frustration to me . also had a look at the Wittlock software Any idea on pricing?

Some were around 10 k for the software. I may be predigested but I have gotten every bit of return for the investment by saving material and being able to change the software to meet my needs.
