Just to echo what everyone here is saying, PowerMill does not really sound like the best fit for you tbh.

 

As others have mentioned, PMK is super quick to learn, and as it is what your programmer was using, it can definitely work for your shop for the immediate future. If you start to want to expand into milling, etc. you automatically have FC that can support your needs and even Fusion for that matter. Your reseller can help you with training, posts, sim files, etc.

 

Furthermore, as others have mentioned here, Fusion is really becoming increasingly popular but doesn't support some of your machines at this point. Currently, Fusion, FeatureCAM, and PMK are all bundled together as I understand it. If it were me, I would probably keep things moving in PMK, and dabble with FC and Fusion for the simpler stuff till you get a feel for which one your prefer. If you have anything that is basic 3-axis milling (or even positional multi-axis), or simple lathe parts, Fusion might honestly be your best bet for that type of work.
