Here is a better idea I personally know the people that own Athens Diner I can have the meeting room saved for us ! They are Greek and know how to cook. How is this Sunday at around 3:00 pm est I spoke with Nick the owner and he said the more the merrier! The diner is located beside Holston Gases right off Highway 11, 2 miles off I-75 Exit #52 (Mt Verd) South go Left 2 miles to red light turn right onto highway 11 resturant is on the left. Exit #52 (Mt Verd Exit) North go right 2 miles to red light turn right onto highway 11 resturant is on the left.

Any thoughts let me know.Anyone wanting to visit is welcome. I do not have a cnc router anymore but I can halp with photocarving! "cant wait for the laser"

Hey Guys,

East Tennessee here also. I am CNC Programmer/Machinist. I have been programming for the past eight years using G&M code. For the past three years I have been using Solidworks and MasterCam to generate G&M code for Fadal, Haas, and Daewoo machines. Unfortunately, within the past week, I was forced to leave the facility that I was working in. My new employer is using Mazatrol Fusion 640M and Mazatrol T plus. (not sure if the nomenclature of these controls is 100% correct but it's close) My primary desire is to change the format of the machines to G&M code so that I could return to Solidworks and MasterCam. Will the machines function using G&M code the same as they would using Mazatrol or should I stop fighting the beasts and learn to program Mazatrol style? If Mazatrol is my best option could someone please give me a contact for help! I have been a machinist for 18 years and have never felt so lost! I will learn to machine high quality parts on these machines one way or the other!

Thanks:
Patrick

Aksess, (and others),

Is there any way you could make it the weekend after the 5/6th, I am unable to get away then, if possible could we do it on a Saterday?
That place you listed sounds good, can you give a street address to it, so I can GPS it with the old streets/and maps program?

Hey Poppabear,
Don't Forget Me. I Can't Take My Machines But I Could Keep You Company On The Way Down. Lol. Like I Said, May Not Be Much Help, But The Intrest Is High And Willingness To Learn Is Also High. Sent A Couple Of E-mails To Your Internet Address. Don't Know If You Got Them Or Not. If You Didn't, Give Me A Call Or Come By Before Friday. 8-4-06
