They are not real clear what motor drivers they are using.  The 
software they supply is clearly Mach3.  If they are using Gecko 
drivers, it should be quite easy to trash the Mach and use EMC.
But, whay pay so much for something, when you don't want it in 
the first place?  See if you can just buy the mechanical part, 
or that plus the drive box.

Finally, at that price, you could have a servo system!  You 
might want to think about that.  Some servo systems allow you to 
use the machine manually, and switch between CNC and manual with 
DRO without losing the axis alignment between the two modes.
