I would like to find a "simple" lathe CAM programme. A cut above Mach 3 Lazyturn and Wizards. But not wallet busting as I use the lathe infrequently. (Estlcam turn if it existed!! but sadly not)) There is a programme called Ecam that looks promising but info is a bit sparse. If any of you guys have tried this or any other programmes that might fit in the category. Would much appreciate your advice.
We use OneCNC which is at the lower end of cost compared to the likes of edgecam. A full professional suite though and not a cheap alternative to industry leading software.

Fusion360?
Not the simplest, but it does have good turn functionality.
Yes I am using F360 and have access to other sophisticated programming, but by the time I have revised the methodology, again?
The guy at Ecam informs me there is no PP for Mach3/4 and limited tool shape input. But otherwise almost there. So still searching.
Im using Fusion 360 and Linux, All free and works well, Lathe macros in Linux as well for quick one offs.
Fusion is a bit difficult to learm but as its CAD and CAM its quick to update the CAM after minor tweaks to the design.
