SCAngler Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 For the at home , deep pocket enthusiast, check these out. I have a friend who operates his daily with great success, but not without a lot of learning time. Also, don't forget a CAD file turned into NC file must be present before you can cut molds. http://www.carving-cnc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifish Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I am looking at the Tormach PCNC 1100. Looks good to me. Been learning SolidWorks 2014. What a hoot. This is one very deep CAD program. Having trouble cutting the design. Tried to find a class in my area and no luck so far. Watched a lot of tutorials. Going to figure it out one of these days. I like designing lures better than pouring and manufacturing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
