RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC, ISA and other Questions...

Jon,

Well, I stand corrected. It has however been reported on this list in the
past that DeskNCRT is a DOS port of EMC. Personally I have tried it
(DeskNCRT) and don't like it but I suppose that is my problem. I would
really like to be able to use EMC for all of my machining but since the
angular axis doesn't seem to work correctly I have been moving away from
EMC.
