Seeing as most people prefer the CAM systems because of their "ease", I have two new questions as I have limited exposure to CAM systems, as well as how the industry actually utilizes them:

1. How is the versatility of the CAM system? (ie, How easy is it to change a tool path because you found the part dimensions were cut slightly different than what you needed?)

2. How much back and forth is there between the person doing the CAM and the CNC operator? How many iterations are usually required to get the part correct?

Thanks,
