Just a simple overview of the XR software that I've been using. It's not a review by an experienced machinest by any means but just a view from a newbie (which most of us are).

What machine did you use to cut that part out?

[Cold Fusion]

My own cnc router. 1/4 carbide 2flt, 14k rpms, 6ipm, .08 per pass.

What amazes me is that COld Fusion is only 14 years old. The insight that he has is that of a seasoned machinist and has over achieved his peers. I would like to nominate Cold Fusion for "Rookie of the Year Award." like in pro Sports. LoL

Actually LFlorin, I just had a birthday on the 26th so now I'm 15.

Hey Happy B-Day from all of us.

Well Andrew (C.F.) after reading your comments on the OneCNC software I decided I wanted to find out more, so I sent them a request for a quote. They called me back the next day but I was not home to take the call. I got another call from Juliana yesterday so I called her back today. I figured if a company is willing to call me back twice just to talk to me about their software with no commitment to buy, they are worth having a talk with.

I am scheduled to have my online demonstation tomorrow morning. :banana:

(I AM impressed by the young man, at 62 I can only wonder!)

jhowelb, I believe that most companies don't displays prices on their website because Cam software is not something you just drop in and buy. Of course it's going to take a lot of time on the phone and a couple demos, so while you are talking to them about your interest in the product, their discuss prices.


After working with Onecnc for over 6 months, I've got some new thoughts. It's even better then when I started! The best thing I've noticed is that no matter how crappy the imported file, or how odd the job is, the software always comes through with a perfect toolpath. I've done over 150 different parts, and not one time has Onecnc ever introduced an error into the toolpath. Since I do 10-20 parts at a time, it's important to be able to walk away from my machine. The problem is, most of the time it's my very first time cutting that particular part. With reliable software, I can trust the simulation to be absolutely right and not be afraid to set the machine and leave.
