I teach CNC at the high school level. All of my students learn Manual G code by programming off line and running on a machine once the code has proven to work. I have a Prolight mill and the CNC base that comes with the machine is the software I use for this application. It has served me well and the students enjoy being able to verify each line such that they can see they are on track.
I also have an older Emco CNC lathe running the welturn software. This software also has a fairly good simulator built into it.
I am now running two Concept turn 60 Emco CNC lathes. I have been looking but have not had much luck finding a reliable and inexpensive simulation software for this application. Does anyone have a software they would recommend?
Many thanks
