None of the Mach3 versions are free of bugs including the tormach version. Hence my advise to load a "good" version meaning less bugs than others. If you're scared don't do it, but there is no reason to try to make it sound scary for others. Being able to jog without having to worry about hitting a limit, reset and re-touch everything which has the possibility to induce error or break parts or tools isn't "advanced" it's a hell of a lot easier IMO.

I made it one day without soft limits. The first part I machined on the tormach was a tool holder that measures 17.5" and I must have hit the soft limits 5 times while setting it up. That is ridiculous that doing nothing wrong requires an e-stop and reset and re-touch. Absolutely ludicrous since the ability IS ALREADY THERE. it's like being afraid of the backspace key so you tear it off the keyboard and just start over every time you make a typing error.
