Using LinuxCNC, I have a set of self-written wizards/demons in a folder.
Start LinuxCNC; load the demon I need; use GEDIT to set the user values
of, say, Xwidth, Ybreadth, tool diameter.
Reload in LinuxCNC and run it.
Not fully conversational, but reasonably quick and convenient. There is
no
So this is one approach but it's a separate program that eventually costs.

You boot from the USB and everything is installed magically. When it then boots
from you HD it starts PathPilot (LinuxCNC). If no 5i25/6i25/7i95 is bound it
errors. If the right signals are not supplied to your Mesa card it errors. You
will then have setup HAL, etc and try again.

All of the above! There is a conversational wizard screen that mostly does
what you want. For my work I would probably model it in CAD since facing
would be only a tiny part of the ultimate machining. As others have
suggested, try it yourself on Tormach Hub.

clamp it in the vise and set it so about 0.25" is above the edge of the vise
and it's pretty close to parallel with the XY plane.
I want to remove about 0.1" to make it flat. To remove the sa
I have a real Tormach and frequently use the hub to test hand coded programs
prior to running things on a real machine. No charge, much safer and crashes

I always thought nativecam looked neat... (I don't think I have ever

how up-to date it is)

pathpilot is setup to run tormach machines. There is no 'setup' program.

Yes and no. Pathpilot is free but it comes on a USB stick which is
chargeable. See https://tormach.com/search/?q=pathpilot%20upgrade

Can you buy PathPilot without buying a Tormach machine? I didn't think you

John,
Have a look at PathPilot. I've just converted my Mill to it from Mach3
using a 7i92. It has the benefits of LinuxCNC but with an interface
closer to Mach3 when it comes to wizards.
