Hello folks , I,m thinking of moving away from cnc pro and switching to mach. Can anyone give me there honest opinion. Most of what I do is 3d , 3axis mill. Thanks, P.S. Also which mach to go with.

I have never used CNCpro but I am running a Tormach with Mach 3 and I am happy with it. Very easy to use, I program mostly with a CAM package except for basic stuff.

I have done a lot of mold cavities with it and had very little problems so far, pretty nice 3-D cavites have turned out really well.

Mach 3 is used by many out there. Several customers of ours use Mach 3 and I here absolutely no complaints.

Most definately give it a try!
The demo is untimed, free and good for 1000 lines of code. You can control up to 6 axes and it's fully configurable, including screens to do pretty much anything you can think of. Support is great via two online forums.
And if you like it, it only costs $159 to liscense, good for multiple machines.
Mach 3 is the one you want, development on Mach 2 ended some time ago.
I use it on my mill and lathe

Mach2 was 1000 lines, the current releases of Mach3 are only good for 500 lines in the demo.
