Re: Nuts and Volts

I just started using Deskam I also have had a purchased copy of Dancam for years.
The Deskam package is a CAM program that uses DXF files and generates complete
paths for pocketing,wall profiles,drilling and generates G code that can be used on there
Desknc interpeter that does serial.step/direction and Phase for like maxnc controllers it's
a great package and very configurable. Hope this helped
