RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CNC Software Question

If you want DOS based you will be hard pressed to do better than
TurboCNC when you consider the price and support. You get it from
www.DAKEng.com and if you like it you can register it for $20. If you
are actually wanting to spend $100+ dollars I would say to consider
going to a Windows based package like Mach1. It has far more features
and probably better performance compared to MaxNC. Beta is at
www.ArtofCNC.ca I would say that Jeff's comment about MaxNC "I paid for
it, so I use it." is about the norm for feedback from users of it. I
don't remember anyone saying it was the best and they recommend it over
everything else. Another DOS option is CNCPro, but it seems that some of
those users are starting to migrate over to Mach1 for better
performance.
