I should be getting my machine Tuesday and I have been designing all my parts in Autodesk inventor and createing toolpaths with edgecam. I also just downloaded Rhino 4 last week but have not played with it much.
Anyone use these programs with their shopmaster?

Also is there a parts file thread that you can share files with people here?

I drew up some things in Inventor that I can post. 1" thick 9X19" mounting aluminum plate with .375 threaded holes every inch. I did two others with .25 threaded holes and .5 threaded holes every inch. I also did four different circle mounting plates with holes for the lathe and rotary table. 6",7",8",9"

I'm going to give CamBam a try . I like the look of it and I was able to turn a drawing into Gcode pretty fast. Price is reasonable too.

No, I doubt I'll do any gunsmithing. Just general purpose I think.
