No they can be either.
It all depends on the code they are fed.
Mach is capable of 3D linear moves.
.
So the trick is generating the code. .. ands that's what cadcam does?
I have some g code experience as i have an old Ikegai lathe with a fanuc 6t control on. Also used a mini mill but only as a production machine. Never got the chance to play with it and its now gone.
Would like to build a plasma / router combo 4' x 4' . Have been watching Tribbles link with great interest. Would that convert to plasma ?
I have a decent work shop with a bridgeport vertical mill ( manual) TIG and MIG so have got the gear. Pretty good with PC's but limited electrical experience. Also know my way around solid works.
I guess i'm just trying to convince myself to "have a go"!
