In case you didn't know, I am on vacation this week. I will be back Sunday from our trip but for now we're kicking back in Ocean Isle, NC. The weather is great and our kids are having a wonderful time. I hope you're all doing well and enjoying yourselves. -See you soon!

Yeah I saw your posts on the new mill. I'm looking to get me a small one to learn on too.

I have to finish getting my mill up to CNC 2011 specs. After that I could look at accepting CAD files or g-code files. I would just need a viable file that can translate to standard G-code for my EMC program that I'll be using (http://www.linuxcnc.org).
Regarding rates... In the beginning at least, I would be happy to do it for my cost. In other words I would probably "donate" my time so long as you guys could cover the material and perhaps the cost of 2 (cheap Chinese) milling bits. I'm still breaking and dulling a number of bits right now as I learn speeds/feeds and CNC in general. If your project would require a special or expensive milling bit that would probably deter me until I get a lot better at this stuff.
Hopefully that's a good and acceptable answer!
I would always do anything I could afford to do to help move this effort forward.Statistics: Posted by Chris — Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:49 am

Do you offer prototyping machine work for people who are prototyping new stuff?
If so, what are your rates?
If you do, I prefer to use Solidworks, would I need to save them in a different format?

I am still here and still doing good work. Just haven't had a lot of time to spend on the forums lately. Sorry about that!
