QuickTURN 2D Compatibly

Post by Mad Professor » Sun 25 Aug , 2013 13:55 pm

Good day all.

Is there a list anywhere that shows hardware compatibly with QuickTurn 2D?

I have a 1990 denford mirac, and would like to know if QuickTurn 2D design is compatible with it.

The current software I am using is Lathe Cam Designer 1.11a.

If there might be compatibly issues with QuickTurn 2D and my Mirac, is there any way to make QuickTurn 2D output a sample g-code for testing?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

The following post should let you find out what will work.

The tooling on the lathe should be fitted into the positions detailed in the CAM software to make things easy. Sample files and tool library are in the post.

So your saying that QuickTURN 2D should indeed work with my MIRAC, but can't do threading.

Is there any other Lathe CAM software that will work on windows 7, and also be compatible with outputting g-code that will work fully with my MIRAC?

Just want to make things clear before I looking at buying any new software.

Best Regards.
