Parameters and manuals for 2004 HURCO VM1

I don't think they have changed much, Here is a link to a Hurco site. http://hurconotes.com/
Some info to get familiar with it.
Use the e-mail on the Hurco company page for specific questions. They are real good about getting you info within 24 hours.
Parameters should be in a package in the cabinet on disks. These disks should be changed with any service call changes ever made. You can put them on another hard drive for safe keeping also. Software revisions change. Contact Indy for latest revisions. Check editor page to see what editor mode it is in. like INSC or conversational or basic g-code. Change mode to suit and run machine hard. They will run hard. Use good tooling and have fun.
(I think your using one cnc right??)
Good luck. Man cave has electricity? cool.

Me, too.

Frank,

Now see, here's another reason why it's hard for me to get my mind set on building up my shop past the 1 man operation it is now: You say your friend works 11 people, and grosses $1.65 mil, which is pretty good for a machine shop. But, the friend only puts about $200k on his W-2.

In a good year, my little cnc shop can gross $150k. Big deal you say. But, since everything is liquid (i.e. paid for), all I have to pay out of the $150 is utilities, general overhead, and materials. Bottom line, out of the $150k gross, I can put close to $100k on my W-2.

So, I have to find enough business to keep 11 people busy, and go through the nightmare of employing 11 people, just to make $200k instead of $100k.

I think I'll stay small for now...
