You meet the nicest people ...

Recently we had the pleasure of selling our KipwareM® - Conversational CNC Programming Software for Milling to a client in Alaska. Harold is retired  ( I guess you would say he is retired but I think he might be still "working" ... but just loving it too much to call it work ) and had purchased a CNC mill for his home workshop. While perusing the internet looking for some G code programming software ... he came across KipwareM® and decided to give it a go with a (1) year subscription.

Over the course of about 2-3 weeks I had the pleasure of answering some questions ... providing some guidance ... and along the way learned what a fascinating life Harold has led. He's really quite a guy and I have really enjoyed our emails and phone calls.

About a week ago we were discussing his full 4th axis he has on the mill and a project he was looking to program with KipwareM®. Well ... we didn't really have the conversational option available ... but decided that "Hey ... this is something a lot of clients might be interested in and is a great idea to add some additional capabilities to KipwareM®." So we began the development of this additional feature in KipwareM® for 4th Axis Programming ... you can read the full story here http://bit.ly/1aJrxtl

Harold helped us do some tweaking ... and got the program running and did some cutting on a bolt for a rifle ... the results are below :

Here's what Harold had to say about KipwareM® and Kentech Inc. :

"Kenney, I am sooooo PLEASED with the program and moreover, very pleased with customer service. However, blissful satisfaction is exceedingly overshadowed with gratitude for all the help and support that you have provided. This is a wonderful retirement gift. Words can't begin to express what this means to me.

Thank You So Much !"

Needless to say Harold converted that Subscription to a Full Version ... and we are more than happy to welcome him to the Kipware® family of users. Although we certainly appreciate his comments ... we're more happy to have a new friend and proud to be able to help him in some small way. Looking forward to following the progress of many more completed projects with such awesome results. Great Job Harold !!
