I don't know how many here use FreeCAD for their CAD and/or CAM work.
In case you do or are planning to, I started writing a workbench which
basically is a (simple) Machinekit UI embedded in FreeCAD.

It is far from complete but it has become quite useful to me.
Everything I machine is practically a one off, and being able to
directly push the job, setup/touch off the tool and execute the task
from FreeCAD has streamlined my workflow. Most of all, I find seeing the
live feedback of the tool in relation to the model and g-code extremely
helpful.

Besides, it was/is a lot of fun to reverse engineer the different
services and interact with them :)

In case you're interested, the workbench is on github:

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Cheers,
Markus
