Hi Mike
Dont waste any more precious time with BC , i used to use BC Wire and just about did the job , but swapped to Onecnc wire and still very simple to use and similar to BC, cad side .
I then got a Haas TM1 ( my 1st cnc mill) and after a week of trying to use quick code , purchased Onecnc Mill which transformed the machine and as a beginner made the machine tons easier to use!!
The CAM side is just so simple even if im drilling a couple holes i'll zap a lightning quick prog down the RS232 cable , as it is perfect format with all correct speeds and feeds.
Youll love it !!
Cheers Kev
