Thanks for the post

We have (5) vertical machining centers and (1) turning center at this time. The machine brand is a mix but we try to stick with all FANUC controls, one machine is a Bridgeport with a DX32 control.. I am not real fond of it and would really like to trade it in. But we use and like the FANUC controls.

Thanks,
Ryan

yeah FANUC controls are the way to go. we just got a new lathe with 21i that I'm messing with. I'm working out the bugs with the live tooling now. I tell people what I do and they seem to either have no idea or say "like what O.C.C does" I like the fact that everything in this world comes from a machinist. with out machinist's the world would we be a dull place.

Correct, we have guys that do that now. However someone willing to learn and some knowledge to edit them would be great. But the main concern at this time is machine set-up, knowing the tools, the controls ect.

Thanks,
Ryan
