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: https://github.com/mlampert/Machinekit-Workbench Comments and feedback are welcome.
