I just purchased a CNC mill with Mastercam version 4 on the computer. I got the Mill,the Computer,terminal all one package. There is no dongle. seems like the software is licenced to the computer. At least thats what I am thinking anyway. Not sure how old version 4 Mastercam is but it lets me download and upload just fine. So My questiuon is this. Is this now MY Program because I bought the whole kitnkabootle? CanI sell it?

Thanks,
Dale

Version 4 ?... or is it "X4" (which is actually 14)?
What mill is this? As for the dongle, it may be imbedded to a board or contained within somewhere, ... unless it's a crack. Or maybe some sort of 'student' version?

"I use Solidworks 2010 with SprutCAM 2007."

Does SprutCAM handle the multi-axis milling on the Integrex 100 or 200? I don't necessarily care too much about simultaneous 5-axis, only positional (3+2).

We are looking at purchasing an Integrex, we just haven't narrowed down which of these 2 models, or software to program them.

Thanks,

Dan

Esprit is one of the ones I am looking at.

Has anyone worked with OneCNC's lathe package with the multi-axis module? Our work is not going to be overly complex (at least not in the beginning) so maybe this would be sufficient?? I'm not implying that OneCNC is inferior, but if they still have reasonable pricing it might be a good way to start.

Thanks,

Dan
