How well does it do on cutting mild steel or even stainless steel?
"You can use your existing CAD and CAM software. I'm using Sheetcam and Meshcam, and have tweaked posts for both of them that I use. The PCNC control software that the Tormach comes with is a customized version of Mach3. It needs a fairly hefty PC (specs are in the PCNC1100 manual on Tormach's website--quite worthwhile to read through 2 or 10 more times even if you've read it already )"
Never heard of SheetCam or MeshCam. TurboCad, ummm I wonder if I could incorporate my Macintosh computers into my workflow...... I know they make this program universal for mac and PC, but wonder if the DXF file would work without being corrupted. Now I've never got into 3D molds yet, mostly 2.5D parts, so I can save a little money there.
Mach3 included, how well is the performing? I've read a few things here and there. Any problems with yours?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm trying to get a feel of what I'm about to get into.
