Hey, I am in a long search for cnc software. I am mainly looking for CAM software. I have used Mastercam, I like it but am looking for something a little cheaper like maybe free.
All I want is a simple 2d cam package. All It really needs to do is take my tool paths and write the G-code for me.
What can you recomend me?
I am planning on using turbocnc or Mach2 cnc to run the mill, for now just turbocnc cince I have an old laptop ready to go with it. Depending on what I get before the weekend, I might have it running.
What I have:
Seig mini mill(homier)
Converted to pre-loaded ballscrews
300+oz steppers
Gecko Drives
9,000RPM max spindle and soon flood coolant.
I am building my 48v power supply, The capacitor should be here friday or saturday, I have two 24v transformers to run in series(after being converted to dc)
I am looking to do this for as cheap as possible, I spent all my money on my hardware, but not on software.
Let me know,
Jon
