2020 Hurco Probe issues

2020 Hurco Probe issues
I just heard back from the dealer and they did change the battery and cannot get the tool setter to work...Would this be deal breaker? Can one get a reasonably priced renishaw set up that is similar? Thanks- MeanMachine1980

haas new controller vs prototrack RMX
So basicly with the Haas controller I could start the program and when I get close to a clamp or something where I would want "manual control" I could simply hit a button and turn the handwheel override down to 0 and slowly creep it up to make sure my tool clears? That would probably work. I...- MeanMachine1980
