Author should check out http://camotics.org/ It's an Opens-Source 3-axis CNC simulator that runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. It not only shows you a visualization of the tool paths but also the resulting cut workpiece.

Author is aware that there are many Gcode simulators.The specificity of this one, thanks to Ada portability, is that the simulator code is 100% the same as the code running in the embedded controller.

No other Open-Source GCode "simulators", as far as I know, simulate the actual cut.

You just made me realize I never looked up the word 'Disclaimer' before. Now that I have, I realize that I've been using it wrong.
