Well in real life neither Linux, MacOS or Windows is really a product. For that matter the number of times my Android phone wants to update/upgrade the OS or apps is breathtaking so Android on the phone is also not a product. It's an OS and a program that interfaces to the product which is

There is no 5-axis Tormach so I doubt it. Certainly the screen layout would have to change significantly to accommodate the display of the 5th axis. See https://tormach.com/machines/mills/770m.html for an example screen shot showing the conversational screen for thread milling. -Original

The root of the issue here is that LCNC is not a product. It is a development environment where a person can, with some effort, develop a product. Then the problem is that as a group, machinists tend not to have computer skills or much interest in learning computer skills. What we see on this

Hi Todd, First of all that LCNC can run 8 head/spindle gang... machine has nothing to do with the subject line. And the grumble I often hear from people who have attempted or looked into LinuxCNC for their system is nicely summarized by your statement: " Linuxcnc isn't for everyone. The
