Hi John,
SheetCam is a CAM package so it takes your drawing, works out the toolpaths, cut order etc then generates G-code for Mach to cut.
For instance say you draw a 1" square. You could load that drawing into Mach and cut it but Mach would follow the lines exactly so the part would come out undersized by the cutter diameter. SheetCam knows about this so it would increase the size of the square to allow for the cutter diameter. Your part would now come out exactly to size.

I See from the web site that the registration tab can include MACH2. So why
would someone need sheetcam if they have MACH2/3?

SheetCam <www.sheetcam.com> can do this at a much lower price. I can write a post processor for you that will slow down to a preset percentage of the normal feed rate on arcs. The post could even be configured to slow down more for tighter arcs.
