Mastercam vs. VisualMill

[Mick]

Does anyone have any experience with VisualMill in comparison to Mastercam? I'm curious to know how it stacks up, as I have been asked about it.

 

I could consult the VisualMill site, but that would only give me positives. I'm keen to convince this person that Mastercam is the way to go of course, but I need to know what I am up against.

I'm sure on cnczone there is a entire fourm on it. But then again I still laugh at what James calls cnczone-

a dumpster fire. :lol:
