I have been very happy with desck cnc and the Gen 2 contorller board , the instal of the software can be a little tricky , ususaly need to reboot at least twice during the process to get it to recognize the controller board. Very smooth manipulation of all 4 axis when running complex parts , no pause at direction changes as with some other systems.
very quick and easy to genrate gcodes from a vatiety of file types I still use desk to generate tool paths on basic stuff for my milltronics. I do wish it had a wizard to generate thread milling paths and rigid tapping code. It would also be nice if there was a lathe specific version with a few turning wizards like mach or even better a way to generate turning tool paths from simple DXF files . I know these features were planned for desk but havent been added that I know of . Another plus is desk doesnt need the fastest computer to run smoothly, until recently I was running one of my lathes with an old 486
Whoafat I think what you need to do on your case is at the point where you have uninstalled deskcnc you need to go in and manually search for and ninstal the few components that uninstal doesnt remove. I know it leaves a desk folder in program files with some data still presen . If you search the old imsrv forum you should be able to find a thread that adresses the issue  |
