I use (and they do) Mastercam V10 for programming, very good for 4th axis work.

If you need any info give me a shout as i have a contact at dugards

Are you a machinest as the art to machining is in methodoligy not just the machine or the software you use to program it
wicked thanks mate

you havent got a rought price have you (minus vat of cause)
Once you've beaten them up a bit for a deal i think they work out about 35k with 4th axis but you'll need a bit of tooling as well i.e tool holders, cutters etc, probably wanna spend about 1 - 1.5k to start with on tooling

Depends what you want to do with the machine ?
