Does anyone know of a good Cnc editor I can download as freeware? I have used Cimco Edit for years and just downloaded their 30 trial of V5.0 and it is excellent. But the price is way too much. I have tried downloading ones I have found on the web, but they all lack one thing or another.

Ivan,
This is probably the best free one you'll find.Yeah Cimco is expensive but the macros make it worth the price

Or Discriminator from http://www.cncedit.com
Much the same but this one has a toolpath preview window.
The demo has a couple of items missing from the paid version but not enough to cripple it.

Also worth a look is NCPlot.

This program is still in beta, but is free to use until it's release.

I just checked their website and the full version is $50, lite is $20. Didn't see any freebies except a couple of DXF file viewers. Maybe they've changed their distribution policies

I also like Discriminator. It's great for the price.
