![]() I suspect that the video or the Gcode has been edited. I won't comment on OneCNC showing a toolpath in a video that is not completley supported by the software. So far it's been two days and not a peep. Tech support said they would get back to me in "a few minutes" with the solution. This youtube vid (which is by OneCNC) shows the kind of toolpath I want to be able to do but so far I can't make the OneCNC eval do what is in the vid. Mastercam seems to be better at the full depth constant tool engagement HSM style tool paths. I think OneCNC would work quite well for most things. ![]() ![]() They run around 15-17% where it appears that mastercam is 10%. BTW I am a happy edgecam user, similar pricing, but admittedly their maintenance costs are higher. Hope this helps and am very welcome to others correcting/refining anything I have said. I may be mistaken but the basic 4 axis path where the tool positions in Y and then A (given typical vertical mill) axis rotates and the tool moves in the z and x axis to comp the model is available in the basic package, without a multi axis add-on. Multiaxis license is necessary for swarf type toolpaths, they come up in the Curve 5 Axis toolbar. For example Mill 1 license will do planar indexing. Indexing is available in any Mill package. In X3 there was a fourth axis module included in Mill 3 without buying the additional multiaxis license. That being said Maybe $13K would cover mill 3 and lathe. So Mill 1 and basic lathe would bundle for $6K. If you buy Mill 1 for $5k they will throw in the lathe for an additional $1k. ![]() I can say with a fair amount of certainty, because I asked my reseller that Lathe by itself is $3k. I am not absolutely certain either, but I think Mill 3 is more like $12K list, not to say that it couldn't be had for the $10k like the previous poster mentioned.
