No, still use it about 90% unless I have long threads to do, then I use
Linuxcnc. Still missing a few essential features for me to take
seriously.

CSS works well enough on early Mach versions prior to V3.040 or so,
altering the spindle speed rather than varying the feed. Spindle on my
"new" lathe has a good enough response to work OK with that.
