Subject: Re: ReWET: [CAD-CAM-EDM-DRO] ADVANTAGES OF CNC OVER CONVENTI? WOW ALL! ???? I did not want to start a cat fight!!!? PLEASE read my post carefully. I have over 6,000 hours experience on programing, setup and operating the largest 5 axis machine GMC had back in the early 80"s. I saw my first CNC lathe at the Chicago Tool Show in 1960. Just two year ago I took a class on programming live tooling on a CNC lathe.? The Lord has really bless me to see the growth of CNC from back when it was punched tape point to point to what it is now.? Not an old grouch just well blessed. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Bill Thomas ?

Hats off to the accomplishments to the abilities of all of you! You are ALL machinists! Celebrate! I am so thankful the GOOD LORD blessed me to have both worlds in my own shop, and the good sense to know which to choose when a job comes in the door. Denis ?

Sigh. ? I give up. ? Tony ? ? ? Try hand lapping anything but flat surfaces and make 1000 pieces per hour or mor manually. I had a customer that quoted milling on a 1/4 inch square circuit board and he had to do 25,000 of them so he quoted $25 each quote was accepted. He was amazed and made a vacuum table to hold the parts and was making $3500 per hour so 8 days later all the parts were done on a CNC try that manually. ?

The article didn't mention CNCing to microns or millions of an inch, only 10,000ths. ? Tony ? ? ? ? To be fair, the article only claims accuracy for the CNC parts up to 0.0001", ten thou not millionths. ? Having a bunch of machinists cranking out parts to 0.0001" all day long isn't cheap either. ? Tony ? ? ? ? Hi All: ???? This person has done a lot of detail work in this report but from my 60 years of design, machining, and building things from small parts to a multi station paint line I fine that he is to broad in his statements. 1) CNC is more precise then manual machining.? Not true because parts can be hand lapped to millions of an inch and CNC does not machine that close. 2) CNC repair is not expensive.? Let him try and fine a cheap repair man to come 30 to 60 miles to study the problem and change the parts on a CNC machine that is not running right.? Or to change a chip shield that requires special tools to get to the screws that hold it in place. ???? I make these comment from personal experience. ????????????????????????????????????????????????? Bill Thomas ? On 2020-02-29 16:36, Queen Nanu wrote: Let's take a detailed look at the?
