What is it, what did you do to it, who's Angie, and what did Angie do to help?

[james mcgrew]

angie posted above you !! he called me one day and said he had a friend who had a digital and was not using it (wanted the floor space in his plant more than the machine) i drove up and had been around these macvhines before so i knew what my worst case would be to make it run ! low and behold i thank angie for the lead as i bought it on the spot. just sold my first large sculpted panel job for it !

[Scott Shepherd]

I figured he posted before me, I just didn't know his role or what you had to do to it. What did you have to do? New everything as far as motors and controls or just tinker with existing stuff to get the bugs worked out?

new seat of wincnc worked out what was what and cranked it up !!
