H... I don’t know. I think I’ve only got 7 or 8 of them. (I’m a retired programmer that, much to my wife’s displeasure, never threw anything away.) All smartassness aside, I’m familiar with Mach 3 and it’s needs. Thanks for checking though. Paul On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 3:39 AM

You will need a parallel printer port computer to run mach 3, is that something you have? You can use a UC100 adapter to be able to use a USB, but make sure you get a genuine one and not an imitation. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Paul Richmond Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 8:51 PM

So, to CNC or not to CNC, that is the question. The answer is simple, do you have the money and the time to invest and what or where are the benefits. If you are a business then that is what you look at. Now if you are a hobbyist it is the same set of questions but there may well be pressures

One of the things I definitely ran into was the slippage (don't remember the official term) when the CNC would change direction. It is more accurate than what I did manually but I noticed that in some cases where the work was very detailed, I had to edit the Gcode and modify how the program
