Best CAM system I ever ran was SmartCAM way back in the day at Dave's
place. (BTW, I hear he aint doin so hot over there, heh, too frickin bad
huh?)
It rocked and from what I've seen of some of the newer systems it still
blows em outta the water.
I like MasterCAM cause it does what it needs to. Easy to adjust toolpaths.
Procam isnt too bad but it has its problems.
I also liked Smartcam when I ran the wire, but I would say Espirit is
pretty good for the price.
