    Any CNC machines as easy to program as ProtoTRAK machines are?

    I am wondering if there are any other machine cnc controls as easy as the ProtoTRAK control...

    I like how easy it is to make and change programs on the ProtoTRAK for small-lot runs and prototyping stuff.

    Not that I have run across, most people who have run regular cnc machines have a hard time with them because it is so easy( no g code) enjoy your proto trac I have been using them since the early 90,s
