Hi John I'm soon to get my workshop back after over a year of it being full of my sons house contents which gives me my mill and lathe back. I've done a lot of pondering during that time :) The only machine I've had access to is my Router. That now runs using Bert Edings CPU-5B - runs far, far better than it ever did with either Mach or LinuxCNC. Lack of progress with Mach4 or LinuxCNC looks like it going to force me down a similar path. The mill, I'll probably go with the same setup as the router. Lathe's a different story, Bert's stuff wont take an encoder input, so lathes no better than Mach. LinuxCNC has it own problems. I'm looking at a Fanuc, Siemens or Chinese controller for that. I need to make some money again, not fart about learning how to program software or do development work - unfortunately cost is going to delay any payback a bit but I've plenty of work to go at. Anyway - I'll leave you Linux guys to prevaricate and dither and get on with actually making things.
