Hello from Enrico

[AndrewMawson]

Enrico, yes it would be good to meet - it's only a few miles down the road.

Fusion360: yes I'm hearing good things about it. Can't download it at the moment as it needs a 64 bit machine and all my current PCs are 32 bit. I've won a suitable base unit on ebay which I expect to be delivered next week, and the 24" monitor and SSD drive came on Friday :) - so shouldn't be too long before I'm up and running.

The CAM side versatility is a big plus to me. I need customisable Fanuc G code for the Wire EDM, Heidenhain conversational for the Partsmaster, and 'sort of' G code for the Traub lathe. The first two I've managed to customise in FeatureCAM sucessfully, but I've not attempted the Traub - mega complex having two spindles, a moving turret AND powered tooling. It has pretty good coding input 'at the machine' but it's all "mandraulic".
