Hi, I need some info.
I'm in the process of converting a HF Mini Mill and a Homier Speedway lathe to CNC with Ron Steele's conversion kit.
Eveything is going well with the mill, but I'm a bit confused about the lathe.
The issue is software. I think I finally have a clear picture in my head of how this all works, but I'm stumped by one thing. What kind of CAM software can I get for the lathe?
I think I'm going to go with Sheetcam and Mach2\3 for the mill. I think Mach will handle the actual operation work on the lathe, but I understand that Sheetcam has no lathe toolpath creation capability. I've looked everywhere I can think of and the only options I'm coming up with are way out of my price range. Is there affordable CAM software for turning?
Thanks very much for the info!
