3. It's FREE!!!

I worked the assumption that linuxcnc will be more difficult to setup but once working properly neither would have an advantage over the other for a simple router like mine.
You make good points!
Im gonna use uccnc..
Bought a second hand uc300 controller and got the uccnc license included.
Read alot of positive comments about uccnc so it feels good.
If I was gonna use PP like you I would probably run dual boot win with mach3 and linuxcnc ;)
Have a feeling I would be switching back and forwards trying to decide whats better :D

Oh and about your limitswitches, hope you get them mounted in a good manner :D
Im still planning where mine should be.
I want travelling switches with static targets.. kind of hard thinking about where they should be on each axis without limiting travel or crashing into anything haha
