What controller does your Isel mill use?

[Kookaburra]

There is a good program called Galaad that will interface directly with the ISEL even to the point of running it http://www.galaad.net/home-eng.html

What have you been quoted on? IsyCAM 2.5+, 3.0 or the latest 3.2 version.

If its only typical 2D milling your after, then the cheaper IsyCAM 2.5+ is the one to go for. Any 3D machining and you will need 3.0, or ideally 3.2.

Yes the likes of Galaad are cheap and cheerful, however IsyCAM 3,2 is a complete 2D/3D CAD and CAM system, comparable with the latest solid/surface modellers, and high end CAM software.

If you need more information on the software, please ask.
