I don't have internet at home, only at work. To avoid having to go to a relative's or the local library to download TurboCNC, I'd prefer to get the software...
... Hi, I'm afraid TCNC is not retailed anywhere AFAIK. Depending on where you are I might be able to send you a CD with the material you need. Please Note! I...
David, and All, TurboCNC IS NOT Freeware - IT IS Shareware. Just because it can be downloaded without charge, regular users are expected to register and pay...
Hi John, The Overview section of my 3.1a manual says "TurboCNC is open-source shareware. With a $20 registration fee, the source code will be emailed to you...
David, I hope I did not offend you - such was certainly not my intent. I was just reacting to the words "the freely available material" in your post. I'm sure...
I cut and pasted the URL exactly as shown and it worked, maybe it got fixed. BTW, the human code is a real PITA, the worst I've ever seen. Took me ten tries to...
I certainly did not mean to cause any hard feelings here with my request. The cost was never the issue. I was trying to see if anyone knew of a vendor that...
Pax, It certainly wasn't you that caused any hard feelings; indeed, if any were caused, it would have been from my post, which, in hindsight, I should probably...
Dave, You say you don't like the UI. Would it be worth while having someone else do the UI. independently of TCNC?? Another words you do TCNC with the existing...

Finished my HobbyCNC Controller and CNC Router. I was given a nice old desktop with Windows98SE and can run TCNC in the DOS box in Windows. When I reboot in...
