Hello from Spilsby, Lincolnshire

[CNC Modeller]

Hi Im Graham an Industrial Modelmaker of 25 years, my field of interest is 3D CNC machining and I use a Roland Camm3 and 'Toolchips' machining software, Toolchips is a Danish Cadcam program which originally I used in the early days of DOS and developed into Toolchips 'Quickmill' which uses STL format for machining, I must say I get truly awesome results from this and I now use it for making parts for my Model Aircraft Kits business.

Hello! 

I was wondering why Spilsby was making a bell go off in my brain.... spotting Louth nearby cleared it up, you're not far from Cadwell Park circuit, where I've spent many a happy (and several unhappy) hours of my life...

I'm just getting into 3D CNC, would be interested to see your work & how you go about it.

Hi Graham,

Welcome.

I have been looking for a decent 3d CAM package for some time and have trialled many cheaper packages. I just Googled Toolchips Quickmill and got nowhere. www.toolchips.com doesn't seem to be a valid site any more - maybe it's temporarily down. Are they still in existence?

Cheers.

Phil.

Hi Graham,

Nice to see some more Lincolnshire lads on here, I live in what was South Humberside, thankfully it was reverted back to North Lincolnshire.   

The annoying thing is though, not many organisations have bothered to address the address problem, we're still classed as South Humberside on all official communications.

End of gripe....
