I am using supercam on a present cnc and want to buy another cnc and am looking at the shopbot and am wondering if I can use the supercam software for all my applications since I know it inside out for what I'm doing.

If supercam can save as or export a dfx og g-code? you will be able to use Supercam.

Best thing to do is send a dxf file or g-code file made in Supercam and I will see if it cuts without flaws.

Kevin,

Satisfy yourself by downloading the FREE
Shopbot Software at >>>

ftp://ftp.shopbottools.com/

Play with it and read the manuals too.

Kevin I was talking with Dennis Bohike from Super Tech & Associates the makers of Supercam thru email a few weeks back and I downloaded there cam program, it will output a g-code file and you just use the g-code converter from shopbot to make the sbp file.

I should have remembered this but I play with so many programs I lost track.
