Post by: Rimmel on June 17, 2016, 08:30:55 AM

1) UC100 support?

2) USB Shuttle Pro support?

3) Wizards? Are there any wizards for turning/threading etc like in Mach3

thanks

Thanks for the reply - with no wizards it makes you wonder why anyone would "upgrade" though. Seems more of a downgrade to me.

I am struggling with Mach at the moment... it's probably me...

The m4 updates have not been done for a while, the ess plugin has been very slow to progress, m3 is stagnant, looking at other options....

Uccnc... wincnc .... planetcnc

Wonder if artsoft still operating or have turned the lights out...

A new build/release of Mach4 with much better lathe support is expected shortly. It was
shown at the CNC Workshop. It includes Wizard like support for lathe roughing and canned
cycles and also a true lathe mode screen set.

Thanks Steve, much appreciated for the update

Kind of thought artsoft would be keen to plug their own software and dangle carrots with new improvements and advances
