alternative to bCNC

Hello,

I started with bCNC, but it's really buggy

can someone point me to an easy to use soft to mill pcb's

thanks

flatcam's pretty good for converting gerbers into gcode.

ok but does it RUN the cnc ?

Ah, sorry, missed that bit. It does not.

Flatcam to create the gcode and Mach3 to run it, maybe?

What is buggy in bCNC?

I scan the surface, then I start the cnc process, the bit breaks off all the time (just the tiniest bit of it)

so I rescan, reengrave, but loose in precision and top/bottom layer never prints the same depth

so far I ruined tons of copper, money and patience with bCNC

I use 20° 0.1mm bits

Are you using correct procedure for autoleveling?
