Re: TurboCNC

Randy,

Well, I might be *teeny* bit biased since I wrote it, but I've had
smooth moves up to around 5-6kHz on my lathe for the last 4 years -
no major problems. There's no constant contouring though... Got a
digital camera last week, if I get a chance I'll post some parts it
has made.

Glad you liked the look of it, at any rate. It's freeware because
I had to write it anyway (not much around for hobby CNC in 1996-7)
and running any kind of business on my university webspace is
verboten.

I've had some guys crab since it doesn't do constant velocity, but
for the most part the fan mail is positive on the implementation.
