Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] g-code interpreters

Hi Jim,

I have the Maxnc software, and I have seen Cncpro. I don't know if I
can help, but I'd like to see a short example of the code, if you don't
mind. I've never tried CNC for the lathe, but it would be interesting
to see how it "translates" for the axis. I've recently played with G02
and G03 in XZ and YZ planes. What did you generate the Gcode with?
