Crap, all my cubes have 8 points, I'm out...
8 pointed cubes are acceptable. :lmao:
what constitutes a cnc calculator? just for speeds & feeds, or do you mean no CAM software?
Feeds and speeds are fine, just nothing that will do the math for you pertaining to the design itself.
Example: Say you want to make a Turners Cube, there are cnc programs that do all the math for you, all you have to do is punch in the size of the material and how many steps you want and it does the rest.
I think what you are trying to tell the CNC guys is that they need to write their own g-code programs and not use CAM generated tool paths.
Sounds like fun and I'll participate when I can. At home I have a manual lathe and a CNC rotary table, also have access to a few manual Bridgeport's at break/lunch time. My personal mill is still in pieces while I whittle away at getting it CNC'ed too.

Screw that then, I didnt spend years learning cnc so I can spend hours manually running a mill![]()
Nice to feel and see your hands do the work now and again. And to know ya still got what it takes to not just be a button pusher.

Even without CAM you still have easy access to automated machine movements that would be nearly impossible to be duplicated manually.
It's an equalizer, and its also about what you are capable of, not the programming.
That too. "thumbsup"
Nah, its more like watching the WNBA![]()
