Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] : Lathe solid model to G code

LOL..

That's what Bobcad does for lathe as well. Just a variance of the pocketing process in the mill cad software. It looks to work ok for just doing roughing and contouring a workpiece, but I dont think it supports any threading operations. I may be wrong but, judging by what little I experimented with it, it's pretty basic for the lathe.

Guessing, alot of CadCam outfits just throw that in as an extra for sales.

P.S. Attn. Everyone that uses Bobcad, turn on the caller ID :-), I talked with them a few days ago and they informed me that Version 21 would be released in the next week or so.

And yes I do agree that almost every software I have tried for LATHE, are
mill programs with a poor implimentation for use on the LATHE.

Now if someone will point me to an actual LATHE program that I can buy, and
still be able to eat that mointh, please do so.................
