Today we sat thru a online demo of Feature Cam's lathe package.We thought it looked pretty nice,the pricing may of been high compared to Master Cam or Gibb's.Thought what a better place to go and get feedback about the lathe package than a Feature Cam Forum.Please tell pro's and con's.Some thing's:confused::confused: are better than others.I appreciate your help.THANKS

I don’t have enough experience with the others to give a fair comparison. My experience using FeatureTurn is with single spindle turning centers and no live tooling. I haven’t seen a CAM package for turning that is easier to learn and seems infinitely customizable.

I have used the turn/mill interface extensively and really like it its basically 2.5 D milling on a 4th axis works awesome and no new interface to learn
