Cheap/Free 4 axis CAM software?
Can anybody recommend a cheap or free 4 axis CAM package. I am looking for something for hobby use and possibly only once.
For work I use SheetCAM and AlibreCAM but the price for the 4th axis in AC is beyond a hobby budget and I simply do not need it for work.
Heck even something with a 30-60 day trial would probably be sufficient.

I downloaded it and it keeps saying my trial has expired, I may have downloaded months ago but never used it. I need to test it somehow...

Try dolphin cad cam. Not free but certainly affordable for low budget users such as myself.
Do you have another computer? Maybe you have not used your 30 day trial on that machine.

I can't use it on the Shop comp.
Why couldn't I use it on my home comp if I removed all the software and re-installed it?
Also, I just installed a free demo of Dolphin Cam, can you actually out put a Postprocessor or only what they offer. I just need to test my part!

You probably cant post process because your running demo mode.
