So we just pay $24.95+ shipping.  Insert into system and boot and it installs 
LinuxCNC and Path Pilot user interface?  And since I don't have Tormach I'd 
then have to go through the process of configuring the HAL and INI files?

And for a simpler operating like surfacing something held in the vise or 
clamped to the table there's an approach like the attached photo or must one 
still write G-Code or use CAM to do this?

Perhaps a Path Pilot user can post a screen shot like the one attached that 
shows how to do this?

Thanks
John
