@Billy-Boyce Thanks! Are there going to be categories for the different series? Where if we needed help on a certain part in The building blocks or one of the other series there would be a section for that? Section for posting pics of the parts when finished?

Thats A great idea I will see what I can do. I imagine it might end up under the CAD/CAM category but we’ll see what happens.

I’m a seasoned machinist and shop owner (since 1963, but only a CNC’er since 1990). I have 4 and 5 axis VMC plus 2 lathes, and some speclaized CNC hones and U-axis VMC, most of which use Centroid controls.
I joined the forum because even at 65 no, one is never too old to learn a few new tricks.
Great job on your parts. Nice finish and well done!
What CAM program are you using? I use MasterCam X2 & X9, or for quick jobs, Centroid’s Intercon at the machine. Another good piece of software I use is G-Wizard for feed and speed, and much more. Saves me a ton of $'s by improving mat’l removal rate, and eliminating broken tools. Keep up the good work!

@Tom-AMS welcom to the group. Nice to meet a fellow Centroid CNC owner. I love mine I have a 3 axis bed Mill and a CNC engine lathe. I have edgecam that I use for complex work I’m also currently learning Fusion 360 here on Titan Academy. But I do a ton of programming on the control and Intercon.
