"Since my question was about CAM, what is right/wrong with ONEcnc?"
I only have a few minutes this morning. Here is just a quick overview
of just some of the problems OneCNC XR2 has:
No geometry to toolpath associativity
No support for mulitple fixture offsets.
No way to control if tool 1 goes to all parts or if all the tools
finish one part at a time.
Piss poor solid cut part rendering.
Help files badly out of date and many subjects not covered at all.
Unable to save or import a solid cut part rendering (stl file) so you
can use what you cut as the basis for the next program.
Only one feedrate allowed per toolpath, so no way to slow the feedrate
into corners.
No support for highspeed machining.
Can't import a native SolidWorks file.
Can't import a Parasolid file.
Lathe package not developed at the rate the mill package is.
No lathe gang tool support.
