Hi - I am not Mr Nicholson, but I lived next door to him for many years. We used to call him Ernie. But that was his family only name.
Fusion 360 is free to hobbyists. CAD, CAM, and post processors all included for nothing. Apply first for the 30 day trial and at the end register as a hobbyist and I say again all free.

Lol, small world eh. I met a guy a few years ago when working somewhere else, and it turned out he used to hang out with Peter nicholson on motocross bikes in Bills front garden, or something like that.

Thanks, I will take a nosey and download it the next time I have time to kill on my PC.

Hi all

I have returned after actually managing to get hold of a machine. I'm now the owner of a Denford Micromill, powered by Mach 3. I've not written G code for about a decade so it was a bit of a learning curve. Just did my 1st program in fresh air, only comping on and doing a square shape and comping off again, but it's a start.

Give me a shout if you need any help.
