Chinacnczone verticle mill with ZK Motion controller and latest MPG WHB04 6 axis

Greetings,

I searched each phrase in my title and did not find much....

The Machine seems decent and when I have it running, I think it will meet my needs.

Here we go.

1) I am told that Chinacnczone (CCZ) and ZK Motion have pirated Mach3 software and I need a license from Mach3

2) I loaded Ubuntu on a designated computer and am told Mach3 will not run on Linux

3) It appears (I may be wrong) that Linuxcnc will not run the ZK Motion controller or the MPG

Do I

A) just buy Mach3 and be done with it?

Find a way to run this on Linuxcnc

1) New controller?

2) New MPG


Win8 64
Intel J1900
500GB SSD
8GB RAM


Thanks

My advice, get rid of whatever and make it work with Linuxcnc.

What should I replace it with? 6 axis control and pendant??

Thanks for your thought and quick response. I am certainly on a learning curve.

Thank you
