    the other part is, leaving the floor finish from a roughing toolpath is just bad practice because you wont have a nice finish. the whole tenessee floor finish thing was a joke between some instamachinist guys anyway, lol. i HOPE nobody actually does that seriously on purpose.

    Esprit vs NX programming time with full sim

    saratech is ok at CAD stuff with NX, but i've found them to be lacking in the CAM side of things. if they're willing to spend money to get it set up right, go with Design Fusion, Jean there is a fucking ninja with NX posts/simulation. i personally know people that are doing 5 axis mill/turn with...

    of course people watch the channel for that stuff, maybe the way you wrote your post came off wrong, because i understood it as if you're saying the only reason steve morris for example builds engines etc is just for the views, which is 100% wrong. i'm sure at some point it'll become a...
