Hi Skipper,
Setting a different Profile within Mach3 for each machine takes care of the various settings differences etc. It is then just a matter of swapping the Parallel Port / USB or Ethernet cable from the PC depending on which machine is to be used.
There are those who use the same motor drive controller but, in my case, I prefer separate controllers for each machine (saves swapping too many cables).
