Hi to everyone this is cool now I can get more advanced with my Okuma with the help from you guys. This is the first cnc that I bought and been running for a year now and is a nice machine.The company I bought it from only gave me 2 days of basic training. Now I hope to learn more.
Pete the new guy.

Welcome, Pete. We're all here to learn.

Please send some of your positive attitude to PUT (Okuma oduma).

What kind of machine do you have? Mill? Lathe?

I have an ESL8 11 HERITAGE 2 AXIS LATHE . I run a small machine shop in Essex Ontario been in business for 4 years and been a machinest for 20 years.
The lathe is the last machine I thought I would buy because it is the least experience I have but it turned out to be my first cnc and Okuma is a very freindly machine and I picked it up fast. I am glad that I bout it and will stick to Okuma.I have dealt with the funuk control and others in other type machines but the osp is nice. I not sure what PUT is talking about. Just want you to get my new friends a litle about me.
Pete
P.S. I am a good machinest but a bad speller. So bare with my spelling.

HI 31BIZ

I'm from El salvador and i work over there with 2 difenten cnc machine one was the brigport (i hated) i work with this for less the one year and the another one was de CADET MATE OKuma with osp 700m control (5 years) and let me tell you this I love that machine i was so easy to learn how operate, the only thing i never did was to use the software for create program because was to slow for me , i always prefer to do the drawing using a software cad/cam and then just run the program on the machine and i was not a big deal because i ran the shop myself and while the machine was working i used to do all the drawing like plans because my work was fabricate Plastic molds so if some day you need some help let me know and i will be happy to do it

NOte: sorry if my sentences does not make any sence and if i spell wrong but i been at this country for 3 years and i still learning english
bye

Welcome to the OSP world!
There is so much flexibility available with the Okuma controls that really the only limitation you have is yourself!
Make sure you ask plenty of questions as I do believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and also, why stress over something that someone else has already probably sovled?
Cheers
Brian.
