Anyone wise in the ways of CNC?
(OP)
We're going shopping for a CNC lathe today. We're looking at a couple of used machines. I'm not a complete void, but I'm not terribly well-versed when it comes to the CNC programming.
So my question: Is there a computer (on the lathe) or CNC software that works really well with SWx?......or one that I should avoid like the plague when using SWx?
...as the kids say..."Word".

I am not aware of any CNC's that are better than others for SolidWorks. IMO, it really depends on the setup, operator, model file, etc.
Stick with quality name brands.
