The class I outlined is intended for folk a bit like you were a couple
years ago. In fact I drew it back further into newbie than that class.
My ideal student for these sessions is someone who wants to make parts
with EMC rather than someone who wants to make machines that run with

Some of the computers with on-board video handle certain things
in BIOS ROM routines, and these can cause upsets to the RT
environment on some machines. Sometimes you can turn these
things off, or set them to be done by Linux-level software

I am thinking of taking the plunge and buying a VMC maybe with an ATC. I
plan on buying it for the iron and upgrading it to EMC. I have manual
machine tools already so I know what to look for when I see a manual
machine, but with CNC I really do not know much. What should I look for?

Ah! Brave soul but on the right track.
Having converted a Mazak V5 I have a certain viewpoint. Looking at
the emc wiki pages on the conversion of the
Mazak at Cardinal Engineering will give a slightly different view. My
Mazak was well used and had apparently cut Al all of its life.

Hi Ray:
Aram is being Aram. He was at least year's workshop, and he is enough
to try anyone's patience. Most of us are just ignoring him. It may
seem rude, but we've tried, and there just isn't much

I wonder. If you don't know the state of the two end carriages, and they
might be in a binding condition, it might be necessary to sync the
carriages before any substantial move. Could a laser be used to get the
carriages synced enough to for a move to a proper sync?
