Converion based upon my old Deckel Mill

Heath Robinson?, hey it works. Actually the ball-screw adaptation of the XY table would be an interesting write-up for anyone here looking to produce a CNC mill on the cheap.

While I spend a few days (weeks) getting into Cam Bam I will put together a thread about the alterations to the compound table and my thinking in going this way.
Will start a new thread to avoid polluting this one further and hopefully will come back to this point when Cam Bam sinks in a bit

Don't be afraid to ask questions about CB if required. I don't claim to be an expert, but I've been using it to make things for a few years now.

Had a play today and managed to do a rudimentary drawing (keeping it simple ) Managed to create a toolpath and a bunch of G code on my office machine .
Then tried to email the Gcode to my workshop machine so i could try it out on Mach 3 .
What is the process. I can save a *.cd file . but cant seem to attach it to an email.
Cant copy and paste cos the code is tens of pages and i cant copy all at one go. What is the best way to send a Gcode file to another machine ?

Are there off the peg bits of code to play with while I am getting the hang of Bam Bam?

Hi john,

Try rightclick zip and email.

When it is still over 10mb orso zipped.
Just copy it to an usb stick.

Walk it to the machine.


Grtz Bert.
