    Best CAM Software for turning / lathe?

    Hi,

    I want to know which is the best CAM software to use with my CNC lathe machine. I have tried my hand at MasterCAM and it seems pretty decent, but just wanted to know if there are any better CAM software for 2 axis turning. Also I will also be getting a 3 axis milling machine eventually so it would help if the software also supports 3 axis milling as well.

    thanks

    I want to know a good and not much expensive CAM package for turning operations, hopefully Mach3 Lazyturn will be available, but in the meantime Im open to suggestions.

    We use dolphin cad cam and surfcam. I use Dolphin for our 3 CNC lathe machines. We also use dolphin on our machining centers. Surfcam comes in handy for more complex 3d surfacing.
