Hi All,
I run my own small shop and have been for about 12 years now. Currently have an Okuma mill (M560) and Okuma lathe (L250EM). Up to now I've done all the programming by hand. However, I'm starting to get more and more complex parts and while I like to program by hand, I can see how that will not work longer-term.
I did play with Fusion 360 maybe two years ago, but never really liked it. I've read through the various threads about Fusion and I really don't like how it stores my stuff in the cloud, etc.
For someone starting TODAY, from scratch, can you all recommend the best solution. Also, I'm better programming by hand on the lathe, so the initial work would be mostly for the MILL work.
Thanks!
