Merry Christmas from IMService and may you have a happy New Year.

It's been a busy year here at IMService with lots of projects and new
products.

We have a new under $2000, Desktop CNC router. Powered by servos and
complete with software. http://www.cadcamcadcam.com

Threading has been added to DeskCNC to enhance the lathe applications.
DeskCNC uses a quadrature encoder to electronically gear the Z axis to
the spindle rotation, permitting more diameter-pitch combinations than
are in Machinery's Handbook. Our $169, Sherline lathe threading kit
includes an encoder, bracket, wiring and software to program ID, OD,
multiple pass, and multiple start threads.

DeskCNC is still the fastest hobby CNC controller on the market, with
125,000 steps per second step rates. The integrated Windows controller
includes 3D surface scanning (requires probe) to a Cad-compatible,
compensated and smoothed .STL file, Cam functions for drilling,
pocketing, contouring, 3D surface milling, image machining, and text
engraving, tool path editing and simulation, and a powerful CNC
machine, control interface.

Easy-CNC was published by David Benson of square one electronics (
Easy Steppin). A great primer on basic CNC programming of both
graphic and Cad drawings. (We may have even contributed some content
;-)

Vector Cad-Cam continues to outshine competitors and wannabees. Our
newest version XI includes Lathe, Mill, 2+4 axis Wire EDM, and CNC
router/plasma/water jet/arc table machines. For the holidays, pricing
for hobbyists and small shops has been rolled back to pre-2000 ( Y2K)
levels. We are now bundling 2D and 3D surface modeling Cad,
JTS-Jobs-Tooling and Simulation, 2 1/2 axis milling/routing , turning,
and 2+4 axis wire edm in the basic Vector Cad-Cam package. Options to
add 3D surface machining and rotary 4th axis milling are also
available.
