We just bought a new HAAS VF-2SS with a 4 axis and need some CAM software to program the HAAS.
I have tried two different software which is EdgeCAM and MasterCAM
I like EdgeCAM for the automatic tool path and look very easy to use but comes with a 9K price tag.
Next is MasterCAM which is 6K but doesn't have anything really auto about it
The schools in this area teach MasterCAM but EdgeCAM said they would teach us how to use the software.
Because we are very new to machining I don't want to make a wrong decision and waste 6000 to 9000 dollars
Has anyone used or own these software and which would be best for a NewBee to start with.
The biggest problem we have is that we don't know what to ask
Thanks
