I fully agree it would not be the tool of choice, especially compared to many of the commercial packages around, but starting out, once I got used to it, I found it very useful for the PCB routing I was doing, and used it extensively for quite some time with very good results. As all cuts were single depth, and and single pass, it didn't matter about the dodgy tool depth setting, or lead-ins. When I had a multi pass job I just did a "find and replace" in notepad for the depth value and loaded the gcode files separately!
The price was right, and it did the job just fine for me at the time, I wouldn't consider using it at all now for most, if not all, work, but everything has it's place and I'm sure that for simple tasks such as what I was using it for it would be just fine for others starting out too. Is there another free one around that's better than Lazycam?
It is a shame they didn't develop it just that further, would have been a very handy tool then.
cheers,
Ian
