"CNC Is Little Help Without A CAD file"
Wrong on so many levels but not unexpected in a group that's completely out of touch with modern machining techniques:
Mill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tyocLvlaqQ Lathe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UcSt_z2be8 Lets not forget Hurco and Mazak with its Mazatrol language. Most shops I work with long ago dumped their Bridgeports even for secondary operations. Majority I work with use DPM bed mills. |

There's no need at all to make simple manual operations complex just to use a computer. |

There's no need at all to make simple manual operations complex just to use a computer. I must have been doing something wrong, I programmed an Anilam control on a Dahlih CNC mill for 6 years and I never needed a CAD file. I was running ACAD 10 on a portable XT clone I'd built, but there was no post processor that could turn a DXF into a cutting file. I used the CAD for checking geometry and locations, wrote the program in a text editor, then transferred it to the control through a null modem cable. ACAD 10 was the 5th CAD program I'd learned.
