Hey folks!
We're a job-shop and our operators have been programming our Mazak lathes at the machine for years. We also have an older model Haas lathe (super-nice G-code control machine) that we had used for some dedicated work in the past and would like to add it to our daily plug-and-chug machines.
We have some nice CAM software for our mills, but the lathe side of the software is pretty cumbersome AND it requires a hardware dongle to install on a separate computer.
I'd like to hear recommendations for easy-to-use CAM software that we could possibly install on a stand-alone computer on the shop floor that would allow our operators to generate g-code off of a 2D CAD file (that we can easily provide).

ready..... go!

Hello,

Have a look at Dolphin PartMaster, we have a very good 2D Lathe program with machine tool simulation
