You know there's an increasing amount of open source CAD/CAM stuff out there; 
is your mill supported by any of them?

<http://heeks.net/> for instance, it's buildable on OS X 
<https://code.google.com/p/heekscad/wiki/CompilingForMacOSX>

<http://sourceforge.net/directory/science-engineering/mechcivileng/caddcam/os:mac/freshness:recently-updated/>

<http://genericcam.sourceforge.net/>

They claim it should work on a Mac.

Maybe the solution is outside the Rainbow box :-)
