Help with starturn

[1081275]

I've two lathes, i remember that we had a Dos Software for this lathes but the computers are broken and with the development of new softwares i wanna know if you can help me, because i would like to put them working properly, i have a lot of dought, can use mastercam or any other software to run this lathes? I normaly use mastercam that's why i'm refering to it. I have used the dos software once but i didn't like and as we are a school for teaching we need a better and newer interface. Please help me if you cam, otherwise we will have to buy new lathes and it's a shame because they are like new and i like this lathes.

Unless it has a Baldor/Optimised control (which I very much doubt being 1991) then you will have to have it retrofitted with modern software like Mach3

Plenty of others on this forum have also retrofitted old Denford machines with Mach - it's just a case of reading through the posts
