I actually prefer metric but right now all my settings for cutting in SAE. I need to create another profile and get all the metric settings to cut acurately. Once I do that then will be able to cut either.
Since what a lot of what I do is wood work, here in the US everyone's drawings are in SAE so I am getting that profile 100% acurate first.
Once the gantry is finished and if you some something I can test and open in Turbocad Deluxe ver. 14, willing to give it a try. Just will be some time before I am ready. My guest leave at the end of the week, then in between work and busy social life will get everything fixed.
Love doing the machining of the parts....

When my routing table gets the other 2 axis setup it will have a C & A instead of the C & B shown in the previous picture. This will allow machined axles and hub cariers to be made. Or even custom hex nuts for touring cars and other RC's.
I figure motor plates, top and bottom chassis plates is where I would start with pan car stuff though. Get the two cars I posted pictures of and see if I can draw and remake same parts and then start customizing to something new from there.

I'll try to dig up the issue. I don't have any photos, we never ran them. Our local racers deemed Can-Am bodies inappropriate for 10th scale, and mandated we all run GTP/Grp. C shells. That was fine by me since my all-time favorite form of motor racing was IMSA GTP.
