Need a little advise on this subject please.
Have a hand full of part numbers to engrave on the face of a family of parts but the CAD/CAM package I have is mill only. Is there some free ware or reasonably priced software out here that can do this? To add lathe with C axis to my current system would be several thousand dollars and not worth it at this time since Mazatrol programming gets the job done otherwise.
I do have the ability to copy the file to a thumb drive and upload it to the machine so some stand alone software would be fine.
My next question is engraving normally programmed in X and C or with polar coordinates?
TIA
