Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Question about 4 axis controller software

Doug,

Good site! I might mention to others that it's yeagerautomation, watch 'mation ! I'm waiting for my copy of VectorCam, (Rats, on
vacation in Squaw Valley), and I will eventually want the 4th axis. Not that I know what to do with it at this point. I'm going to
use the MAXNC software for a while, then I would like to get the 4-axis version. So despite the poor manual (there's a manual?), is
it capable of doing some work? Was there someone using the 4-axis MAXNC? I too could sure use a review of it!
