Thanks for all the interest. I used Mastercam at a friend of mine. The impeller CAD model was fetched somewhere from the Internet. I wrote my own post processor in Delphi - it reads the NCI file that Mastercam creates. This file has the tip and tail 3D coordinates of the tool in the toolpath in wo

Here is also my test of running heavy 5axis code on linuxcnc.  Code was generated by NX. At 1 min it shows up embedded screen of linuxcnc ruining it. I tried also final passes, but executing it was way to slow... anyway, this issue is already discussed in other topic. http://www.youtube.com/wat
