Hello all,

My first post here after searching the forums.. So far I've found CNC zone more than worth my time.

I am wondering how does a CAM software interface with a CNC milling machine?
I am looking to set up possibly MasterCAM X2 or CAMworks software as a CAM software I'll be using.

I've heard that to interface with a controller on the machine, that its widely known that a program called MACH3 will work well for this. And you must use a printer port to connect the hardware physically from the CNC machine controller to the computer.

I'm just curious as to whether MasterCAM X2 or CAMworks can do the job of controller interfacing the G-Code like MACH3 does.

Thank You in advance for your help, I really appreciate it!
