"Surprisingly complete" Edited 2023-10-26
Pros: I am surprised with the bunch of possibilities but I think ends up being very expensive just for a CNC wood machine and hobbies with 3d printers.
Cons: I did not like the logical sequence to use it when you test the Trial for FreeMill as I don´t know what is free and what is not. Colors darkening and a dark mode is a must for me as my eyes suffer with the screen lights. Hate that light purple color.
Overall: Nice. Using each module separated seems to me really good and logical but some Freecad "similarity" MAKES IT A LITTLE CONFUSING.

"So reduced it is pointless" Edited 2023-02-09
Pros: It's free. It will generate a surfacing tool path to make a flat board flat, but a little thinner than before.
Cons: I get it, it's the free version of your offerings, so I don't have huge expectations, but not even having the ability to contour or pocket a hole is so reduced as to make it useless.
Overall: I don't think this is the sales tool you think it is, as I am now just left annoyed that I had to go through the whole process to trial VisualCAD just to find out how useless FreeMILL is. The program only spent a total of 5 minutes on my system.
