I would say it is usable, though it has it's quirks and it is a fairly hands-on sort of CAM. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It is much harder than it should be to align the outlines to the origin. (SheetCAM has this problem too). You need to set up the post, the planes and the tool library correctly to get any output in lathe mode. You get something like 40 "goes" for free before having to pay. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
