Ah, that is a totally different situation. Still, based on the type of
work,
it could be a problem, or could be a perfect solution. If muck of your
work is similar to common manual machining tasks, drilling holes,
facing off surfaces, rectangular pockets, this should do fine. I find
I do a LOT of boring out round holes, and would be pretty lost without
at least full 2D capability. 3D is nice to have, but I very rarely use it.
