Re: Software for Lathe

SKB - I just started evaulating CAPSTurn also. I must say it has a
very interesting interface and program flow. I found I could produce
a part in very little time. I had some problems defining the blank
(i'm still working in that) and choosing the actual tool functions,
but I'm sure I will figure it out soon. I sure hope that CADEM has a
post processor for the MAXNC T2 Chucker lathe. I was sure hoping to
be able to show a 3D rendered view (like the one in OneCNC) but I
have found no other programs easier.
