Default Megabar Plug is cut

Hi Eddie, it looks great, but what is worse learning solid works or the dust from the MDF?

One just takes time and the other takes a large shop vac....
I was really worried about the dust at first but for the
4 hours of cutting I sat there holding the shop
vac right by the cutting head. Next to no dust left the
machine.


What type of file are you exporting to your cam program ? Who sells surcam,looks like I may look into it?

Surfcam reads Autocad, DFX, Solidworks, Parasolid
and a lot more..

Once in Surfcam, you simply pic the tool, depth of cut,
and a bunch of other stuff, and It will tell you how long
it will take, show you the tool path, and write the
machine code... btw.. Surfcam is only $25,000
