OK, how do I downgrade without losing my motor tuning steps per inch, input settings, and everything else? 

I actually take screenshots of every setting in Mach 3 for those "just in case" moments. It takes some time, but nice to have when you need it.

had to "Toss the Tosser"

LOL - Trust me on this one Scott - you really don't want to do that...

I never offered BTW.  I'm starting to feel like the fella that has to climb the water tower with a can of spray paint in his sisters defense.

Nice one Scott.

Exactly how much time does one have to spend under Hood though? I'm not sure I'm too keen on that to be honest.

What sort of budget do you have to buy software?

MeshCam/MeshCam Art is very reasonable for 3D drawing/machining.

Have to agree with Ian here.

Unless you can give a LOT more info and specs of the table/router, there's not going to be a mad rush to buy it. Best bet is to get it going and cutting something on video, and then you would get your best chance of a decent sell.

Yep, that may do it, also another thing to note. if the Jog on/off button is not on the current screen, you can not control it by outside buttons either.

Have to agree, just too many horror stories of machines not responding to wireless control and "taking off" on their own.

No thanks, I have a hard enough time making good parts with everything wired

Post a few pictures of the router, I'm sure someone will recognize it.

Looks great Hood, you can never have too much storage area for cutters and such.
