Hi,
I recently purchased a Scotle ChinaCNZone 5 axis machine. I couldn't be happier with the service and the machine has arrived and seems to be of good quality . It is a 6040 machine and can do 2, 3, 4 and 5 axis work.
Although having used a 3 axis machine, when they first came out, it has been a long time and the programs have changed dramatically.
I use SolidWorks as my 3D drawing package and the machine is set up to run Mach3.
Is there anyone out there running a similar set up? If so, is there any affordable good software, that will fit between these two programs to give machine tool paths and convert them into "G" code?
Cheers.
Bill.
