Sorry Fred, I have to take you to task on this one.
Although it can pocket, contour and drill no way does it have the
same capability as Dolphin.
Dolphin has far more commands than even Vector in these respects, so
in effect are you saying that Desk CNC is in front of Vector?

I'll grant you that it has some very good features and will appeal to
the cash strapped hobby market but trying to make out it's more than
that is just a cheap shot that will only harm sales.
