And what better thing to do than make my 6000 th Post be a Well Done to Brandon pushing the virtues of the CW to a School Teacher looking on advice for buying a CNC for School.... What better way to CNC than have 4 groups of students standing around watching 4 CW's Carving away.... OR a group watching 1 Shop Bot cut the Teacher's Pet's Project..... LOL... Yes, I remember High School Shop...

With the FREE Software Students could work at HOME on Projects... Using a simple USB Zip Drive to transport the Project... Don't think Shop bot would offer Free home software.... I wonder if LHR has a School Software Activation Program to extend the 30 days?

The Slot Car is a great project for the CW and the Students.... Even simple Signs and Clocks.... Imagine making School Logo stuff for fundraisers.... Sure beats Cup Cakes....

Just saw it is a Community College..... Even better.....

I just sent pricing options to James McGrew at SMC. Sure would love to see him start putting the CW in a more positive light!

My sincere congratulations to all of you,

Its great to see the word being put out there on the tremendous capabilities of the CW and its provided software when applied by enthusiastic users. Nothing speaks better to the market and to future users who will join us.

Let me heartily endorse the BRAVO ZULU signal. Outstanding Gentlemen!

And a little LHR input to the SMC Thread.... From Connie

"There are many CW's in classrooms from middle schools to universities to prison systems; rehabilitation centers (even for the blind), commercial shops and artist studios. CW is more affordable for most schools and it is a great introduction to CNC. It has it's fit and it's purpose. I hear too, that it gets along very well with the "big boys" that it shares a shop with.

As far as the software goes, with DXF & STL Importer and the ability to export to STL using the Scanning Probe & Pattern Editor, proprietary software is more of a non-issue. Technology advances. Just because you no longer program in Fortran or Cobol, does not mean you are not a computer programmer. You no longer need to know html in order to create a website. Software has moved more object oriented.

Preventive maintenance is key with the machine and the new C version is much more solid. One of my favorite posts on the CW forum is from Al Ursich (digitalwoodshop) where he posted:"


"Well look at that.... 33 Posts chasing a 3 inch tail Pilot Error... LOL....

Glad you got it working correct.... I see a former 3 inch sled getting the Fire Wood Treatment...

Well, at least is was a Troubleshooting Post.... Darn Machine is getting so reliable that it is putting the Maytag Repairman like me out of business... LOL...

I see the Sawmill Creek forum thread linked to the Dust Cap video and thread on this forum. Too bad Brandon did not know I am a college professor (as opposed to that member who "will try anything"). It might have helped the cause. And happy 6K Al.
