Title: Considering Purchase
Post by: ThomS on October 23, 2013, 04:54:04 PM
Hello All,

New to the board.  I am considering the purchase of a Legacy CNC Woodworking machine with step over drive motors.   Can anyone provide some insight as to how well the Mach 3 controls would hold up in a heavy production environment?    By heavy we have recently been running 22 hours a day 5 days a week.   Do you have working examples?


Thanks,
Thom

Mach3 is not the controllers it is just the software package that runs the controllers  . How well everything holds up depends on how you build it. Mach3 can run 24/7 for as long as your PC stays alive. The machine itself ????
