The Jon Banquer blog is the only place that shows you exactly what's
wrong with Mastercam's drilling and how drilling should be handled in
Mastercam:

For those that realize it's absolutely insane to think about spending
thousands of dollars for an add-in to do basic drilling correctly,
here is how drilling should be done.
This product sells for the same price as Mastercam but actually can do
basic drilling properly.

Get a quote. Let us know. I don't think it's "thousands". The reason MC
is "cheap" (everyone tells me this btw...) is you have the options for
upgrades as needed.

I'm not going to get a quote. I would never advise anyone to pay for
what should be standard in any CADCAM system... quality basic
drilling.

Mastercam isn't "cheap". The cost difference between Mastercam and
most other CADCAM products is negligible from 2 1/2 axis through 4
axis positioning.
