Dan,
Just got off the phone with my younger daughter, who pulled up your
link, and fell in love with the ring design. All she has to do is find a
husband, and we'll all be happy. Have you ever done an unusual Star of
David? Keep up the good work.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Vector CAD/CAM --- 180 degree turn
I would like to publicly tell all of you about my 180 degree turn I have
taken with Vector. As some of you might remember, i was less than
over-joyed with the software last week.
I have since joined the Vector discussion group and obtained the latest
update to the software (for free from Fred). The Vector discussion board
is
monitored 24 hours a day by Fred and he responds IMMEDIATELY to all
questions. Having Fred available to show me how to use this software has
been a tremendous help. This software really is amazing in what it can
do.
Today's project was a carved titanium ring with the saying "Ani L'Dodi
V'Dodi Li" with Hebrew characters. This translates to "I am my beloved's
and my beloved is mine."
I downloaded a free Hebrew True Type font and installed it on my computer.
I started Vector, and with help from Fred, in 10 minutes time I had
completed G-Code for pocketing each letter in three passes to a depth of
0.020" with a 0.015" cutter. Dumped the raw G-Code into Microsoft Excel
to
convert it to rotary degrees and calculate the correct feedrates for each
point, and I cut the ring.
Total time invested 2.5 hours from conception to rough cut and anodized
ring. Pictures of the ring from four different angles can be seen at:

Thanks Fred, your support is overwhelming.
