Not sure what you mean by "curvy shapes" but it will do curves in either two or three dimensional work. (the majority of the work I do is 2d curves in wood) I took a look on the CamBam forum and apparently it will do 4th axis work through a work-around. Oh, and by the way, the developer has said he is considering porting CamBam to Linux so the more of us EMC2 people that use it the more pressure he will feel to do so.

I am looking at it. Essentially, its limitation is that it cannot do curvy shapes, right? i On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 8:35 PM, Edward Bernard <yankeelena2...@yahoo.com>wrote: > I've been satisfied with CamBam http://www.cambam.info/.
