Always looking for good advice …
Yeah as much as I’d like to go larger, that just ain’t gonna happen Jeff 
I really like Fusion 360 for doing dimensional stuff (parts, brackets etc) and I use Inkscape and Affinity Designer for arty stuff although some folks use F360 for everything.
I also put out the $$ for Sheetcam to do my post processing after a while of struggling with F360 for that. The CAM portion of Fusion and I did just not get along. Nothing personal 
Maybe I just needed to spend more time with it, but I just found Sheetcam a better fit for me.
If you have any questions feel free to DM me. More than happy to help if I can and if I can’t I’ll definitely tell you that too.

Hello Jeff, welcome to our world.
I am in East Hartford, I mainly make race car parts and target systems for my gun range with my CF.
Hit me up anytime if you need something.

How you been bud?
I was finally able to get more 9mm chow so I can get back to my range. It was crazy last year trying to get anything but it seems to have gotten better.

Hey Jim, thank you for reaching out to me. I haven’t ordered the CF yet, but I am interested in hearing about what parts you are making for race cars. We run two SK Lites; one for Thompson and and the other for Waterford , making parts was the motivation to getting a CNC table.
We run SK Lites at Waterford, Thompson and Stafford, 3 Lites and 1 Modified this year.
Some parts I can talk about, some I will not.
You will find the Crossfire very useful for experiments and certain parts that get bent often.
Other then that, once a new car is built there is not that much to make with it. Custom spanner wrenches and fuel cell tools are fun to design/ make.
It is all fun.

they work on a lot of Subaru’s a few Mustangs, Audis, one or two Porsches. that dyno gets annoying sometimes lol
Thanks Jim, good info … see you at the IceBreaker
Hey there Richard,
I’d like to take a ride down for a visit sometime if that would be okay with you; Just want to buy you lunch, pick your brain and see the CF operate live and in person … Have a great rest of the day!!
Peace, Jeff Eilenberger

hey Jeff, That would be great thanks. however I’m still waiting for the machine. I will definitely let you know when it gets here. So in the mean time I am getting familiar with QCAD program and SHEETCAM. You have a great day as well. I am leaving for Florida Saturday for about 10 days give or take. Hopefully it comes when I am there or soon after I return.
