Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Dear Members of the Canadian Hobby Metal Workers Forum. I'd like to introduce everyone to our product, TakshakCAM. Until the 4th of October, we have an inaugural 50% discount price of USD 199.
Thank you all for the already great response. The 50% discount offer expires on 4th October. Cost jumps to USD 399 after.
Some updates: We have added several hobby controllers now - Carvera (both community and vendor), ShopBot and we got a Centroid controller to work with G93 (those who know, know 😉 )
Takshak Turn - Mill turn CAM is scheduled for release by October end - it will also have a launch discount of 50% and be available at USD 199 Takshak Burn - for EDM's, Laser , plasma, and waterjet machines is expected by November end, though less useful for hobby I suppose.
@jcdammeyer@L98Fiero We have reached out to Alibre CAD and asked if they'd want to collab to make it seamless between the two apps. So far we have not received a response. If they respond in the negative, we will still try on our end to see how we can enhance the experience.
