"best" ? there are so many can't said best. I will suggest bang for the buck, Visual Turn.

I think that some more info may help so here goes.

We use Solid Works so most of what we do is solids based manufacturing. It would be a huge benefit to be able to load A solid strait into the CAM package and produce tool paths from it. The ability to draw a profile in the cam package would be useful. Thanks once again for your time.

Dolphin cad cam is a wonderful system. Its more than capable of most turning needs

have been looking @ EdgeCam and your thoughts on this package would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

It's fairly nice but a very hefty price tag.

What about Delcam Partmaker? I know that you can import solids in and it seems easy to use.
