As a former Mach3 user, I find it hard to understand why anyone with $10000 or even far more invested in their Tormach plus tooling would not spend $185 to upgrade to PP.. Just having working soft limits is worth the cost!
I’m running a PCNC 1100 Series II and still using Mach III. I had a question about my Mach III about 3 weeks after the first version of path pilot was released, and when I called Tormach for help, I was told “OH, WE NO LONGER SUPPORT MACH III”.
The tech support staff they have at Tormach now are the absolute best “HAAS” sales staff anyone could ask for.

You picked about the most ironic comparison possible in the eyes of anyone who has a <2007 Haas with a board failure.
As someone who has run machines with Mach3, you cant pay me enough to run one again.
Most of the wizards that came with my 1100 with Mach3 seemed to work. PP was a great improvement.
Just wish PP would let me start a slot outside the part, and also rough and finish mill a radius without a complete circle.
