As a CNC amateur, my first inclination was that I have no dog in this fight, but then I realized there's always the possibility that I'll get hold of a CAD/CAM tool which knows only Haas, etc., or someone might send me a gcode file in a commercial dialect. I'm curious just how much fiddling/adjustment is required. Is it obvious to someone not familiar with any of the commercial machining centers? Perhaps someone could post a page on the wiki to summarize the major issues? If the gcode- tinkering is straight forward, then emc2-preprocessing scripts would seem appropriate, n'est-ce pas?
