Re: Re: CNCPro

Bill,
Well said.

The main complaint I have heard about CNCPro is lack of "radius comp".
I think you should ask yourself, how much will you use it.

Myself, I think I can say never. If a tool needs sharpening, I don't have the equipment to sharpen it, so I would
never have the need to compensate.

If I needed to use a tool that was different from the one planned. Well I will simply redo the files to match the tool I do
have.
Which compensates very well for radius variations ! Becasue I car does not have a GPS built in does not mean I can't use
it, maps are wonderful things.

As to Linux and EMC. Well I am a programmer, and must say this forum has been an eye opener about the mess Linux is in.

Sure people manage to get it working, but the messages clearly show Linux is not for the faint of heart.

I have a kind offer from someone to set up a drive with Linux, but I'm more and more inclined to forget it. I simply don't have

the time, or want the hassles of it.

CNCPro has other features I think EMC does not have at the moment, and may or may not have. At least CNCPro is supported by
a person that "gets hungry" and hunger is a darn good driving force....
