The electronics side is not a problem I can build my own stepper driver, I have only just downloaded the Mach2 software and am unable to find a way to drill, all the setups seem to be for lathes, mill etc, another stupid question.

General Mach Discussion / Newbie Question

Help
I am wanting to build a 3 Axis CNC machine for drilling and maybe milling PCB's, this would only be a small machine to start .

This may seem a stupid question but will mach2 drill pcb's and control stepper motors directly eg

apart from the obvious parallel port buffer will the software drive the steppers directly?

Cheers
Geoff
