Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Disappointing Lathe CNC Software

Greetings :Have you not tried any of the Fanuc controls? I've operated
several Hardinge Lathes with their hardware and software and found them one
of the BEST I've ever had the pleasure to program, set-up or operate. I'm
sorry I can't give you their web page but if you like I can probably get it
and get back to you.
Wilf.
