BUMMER!!! I am reproducing a machine that I built 18 months ago and it has an XY table that is cam operated. I bought almost all the stuff to make the new one CNC but my customer has us running the 18 month old machine into serious overtime with more orders looming. I need the new machine on-line ASAP so I will go with the cam set-up and do CNC on the NEXT one. Notice my post about reproducing the cams. I just tripled the staff working on the new machine...ain't America grand?
When I dive back into the CNC thing, I will be needing a bunch of help...be afraid.
