    One of the great pleasures I have in working for New Wave is that we know what the machines are supposed to do, however, I have always been given the honor of pushing the envelope on what they might be able to do.

    So far just a few broken bits and a couple of table fires! Nothing major!

    When you understand what it is supposed to do, it is very easy to circumnavaigate the designers intent and make the machine do what you want it to do because the designer is often too involvled in the original concept to realize the full potential of something. I am willing to bet that they never even considered 4th axis when this machine was in R&D.
    Morning Guy,

    It's compiled in the designer software and loaded to a memory card that goes in the machine. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to open it up and manipulate it. It's not like G-Code or other CNC languages in that sense.

    Also, (not sure if you know this), the CW uses servo motors not steppers on all axis.

    Believe me, I wish we could access the file to even look at it. The card reader/writer doesn't even show up as a drive on the system so we can't even see the file on the card. How's that for diabolical? LOL
