Boss 1,
You will find that if you purchase ONECNC you will be making money instead of creating toolpaths. It takes a while to trust a program that is all generated by the cam wizard, but believe me it won't be long before you are posting your program and taking it to the machine and pushing start without any doubt that it will work as you expected. As far as 3D goes I would at least get Mill Proffessional 2000. I use the 3d features a lot to create fixtures to hold parts with compound angles and you can do that with 3d machining rather simply in OneCnc. You don't have to be making molds to use 3d machining. I make aircraft parts also and these 3d features make doing some of the work much easier.
