Hi all! I'm hoping someone out can seriously help, cause if I can get this cnc running I'll have a nice job!
I spoke with a guy that runs sign company and has an old Gerber speciality products machine. Told me he spent 3500$ several years ago on an only made 7000$ before the thing had a problem. It has a new tool in it but when it is time for it to relocate to a different position of the work piece in stead of retracting from the material it only comes out part of the way thus cutting a line from the end point to the start of the next cut. Now I haven't seen what it's doing yet thou I may have a chance to tomorrow. Other wise the machine works fine. Thou it is old.
As far as I can tell is the software is Artpath Omega 6.2.1.6 - 3D.
I'm wondering if Mach 3 could run it?
I'll tell y'all I've never run a cnc before but I understand the concept and I can draw 3D in cad it's just been a few years.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. This would be a job I'd look forward to getting up and going to everyday. Hope one of you have the time to help.
Thx! Gregory
