I have verified that I can get simultaneous , coordinated motion on all four axies.

I tried it today for the first time.

I ask because I run a little CNC mill without a tool changer or probe and I don't find it any bother to set a job up, it could be that I come from a conventional machining background but I'm intrigued. You may find some very good tricks and techniques from commercial machinists which reduce the strife you must surely be suffering, ;-) |

I am going to jump in with both feet. I have never looked at any messages on this thread, it looks so boring to me. I often wonder what is so interesting to other people. Can somebody tell a newcomer why so many people have replied to this? |

Norman, I think the appeal is a cheap and configurable CNC controller that allows folks an affordable way into controlling a range of machines without very much hardware construction. Quite a lot simpler than setting up some of the 'professional' controller and s fraction of the cost. |

The cnc world is STILL 99% computer tied. These controllers are pretty cheap, and allow you to run all the normal cnc setup functions and run gcode programs. Yes, the instructions are terrible, and they are kind of weird acting, BUT there are no windows crashes! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |
