Machinist School - NCPlot program

Nate, programmer at Technical Machining sent this
CNC Machinists/programmers: NCPlot released their new software that simulates NC code. It also recognizes Macro programming, and allows you to keep track of your variables throughout the program. For anyone that is looking to get a better understanding of macro CNC programming or just basic programming, this is a great tool for proving your programs. There's a 15 day free trial, and a very reasonable $300 to purchase. To put things in perspective, the software we run at work for simulation is $10k, but it has complete machine simulation with 3d solid capabilities.

Machinist School - Boydston's Copper Cookie Cutter

Sometimes called a "rule die", a piece of thin metal can be shaped to form cutters. Sometimes they are used to cut out greeting cards. But in this instance, it is DUCKS!

Machinist School - the Boydston Drill Press

Do you ever need a bigger drill press table? More places to clamp things? Something you could weld parts to? Sometimes a new-improved table is the key!
