    buy Mastercam, easy to learn, cheaper then Edgecam and the most sold software in the USA.

    Edgecam is known for the bugs with every update. Gibbscam is only turning and a new cad-cam software, could have a lot of bugs, it is not sold very much here in Holland

    you should consider Topsolid (french from Missler) also I think

    I am very skilled with mastercam but it is very expensive. I was sent a demo of onecnc and was very impressed with its ease of use and its capabilities. If you are starting from scratch I would recommend their product which is a fraction of the price of Mastercam.

    Gibbs is new... since 1984, and not turning only. Get your facts straight.
