I saw your post and immediately thought: "a person who asks questions like that is the kind of person I want to follow!"

But it turns out, I already did. 🤣

I wish I could say that I or someone I knew ran a machine like that, but I'm not in touch with the only person who might qualify. He reads and writes gcode by hand. An absolute monster, and I think he's probably at least in his 60s, maybe older.

LOL! Sometimes, things are already worked out!

Definitely sounds like a good guy to know.

If my friend was looking for anything but a 5 axis machine, I'd totally trust him to know what's what. He seems to have taken my advice to research collision detection software, and it's not as badly priced as I remember, so, now he's just looking for a machine he wants to buy. Worst case, he needs to make a service call the first time he tries to run a part. 😅
