DeskCNC

[Kookaburra]

We are currently working with the Developer of DeskCNC on some really exciting new features. It is jam packed with features at the moment, but still we keep adding more. DeskCNC is a real winner in PC CNC control. Our company distributes it with ALL of our cnc control systems. We have tried a lot of others but they don't make the grade. REAL TIME = REAL PROBLEMS and deskCNC has made it REAL EASY, you don't have to run XP, you don't have to have a certain type of PC Hardware and it just keeps getting better and better.

Big thumbs up for DeskCNC - Keep posted as there will be some announcements about DeskCNC and surrounding products in the near future. If you are tossing up what software to get, I can really recommend DeskCNC, not because I distribute it, but because I have been through all of the exploritory work myself.

Well, aside from the current lack of backlash compensation for arcs and circles, a tool height function which half works and a manual befitting a TV dinner, it's a very useable package. The developer provides a user forum and good support -- which leaves me with some degree of confidence that updates will address user issues. For the price of the package (hardware and software), it's the most competent that I've used by far.

Has anyone ever gotten DeskCNC to actually work?

I purchased a package IN DECEMBER, 2010 - and despite literally months of headaches it still won't work as advertised.
