before i spend 8 grand on a machine that does nothing I dont already have beside doing inlay work by cnc I want as much input as possible
if i need to spend the better part of a year getting it to do inlay work
i can spend $3500 on a mill to do that

and ive bought a several blanks from prathers starting back in 1993
but you dont know me or what "stage im at"

maybe that was just your playful way of joking with me but we have never talked so basiclly my first impression of you is that you are a condesending
jerk

Thanks Mike, always good to see you too. I thought I felt my ears burning. I need to call you to discuss something so there's your warning.

Cue Crazy, thanks for the kind words as well.

The Cue Monster is a great machine and the change over to the 4th axis really isn't bad at all. Brian is very slow and maticulous about his explanations so nothing is left out but once you get the hang of it your looking at only a few minutes time. A tapering program wouldn't work using the axis motor or at least the one that comes with the machine because it simply isn't fast enough. There may be one out there that is, I don't know. All things considered I couldn't be happier with the machine, it's like having a few extra people around.

I can understand your concern. I had some of the same problems. I do not sell cnc machines but I have some experience learning to use them. I would be happy to advise you if you would call me sometime. For a little humor you are invited to: http://www.arnotq.com/pages/630/630.html

I am.. but besides that, anyone looking to buy a cnc machine with preloaded inlays comes across as LAZY, unwanting to learn, and across the board as a person who doesn't want to put the time in.

OK Joe I see your point but that is not the case at all

for 8K i could buy a 4 axis cnc taig mill $3300
and an additional lathe $2500
and a have change for some other stuff too !!

and a big reason I posted my question is I had already read the link that arnot
posted and to shell out a sizable amount of money like that I would expect the thing to be ready to do work at least to some level

Don't forget the mill is not ready to inlay cues at that price. You still have other software and A LOT of hardware to add to make it work.

Yeah! I know chris , your machine is being pondered as well

i just like the Idea of seperate machines there are advantages
to a great machine like the cue monster

but there are advantage to having individual and task dedicated
machines as well
 
here is the 3rd cue i ever made inlayed with an exacto knife and metal straight edge

so to poke fun at myself im to lazy to do that crap anymore

What would be a good and easy to learn CAD software for designing inlays? Thanks

Hadj,

Here is one way.
Go to Cadopia Intellicad
And register and then download the trial.
I heard that if you just keep using the same username and password, you can keep downloading the new trials, and just take the Cadopia.DAT file from the new, and replace the old with it, and keep going for awhile longer. :D
I'm not telling you to do it, but just letting you know what i heard...

Anyways, it works like AutoCAD (it has it's differences, but nothing that can't be adapted to) and it's a lot smaller than autocad. I can run it on a Old Dell with a 200mhz processor, and a 2 gig harddrive with almost no ram to speak of.
And if you like it, it cost waaaaaaaaaaay less than autocad.

Thanks,

Jon :cool:
