Thanks for the great info Tweakie. I would be using Powermill or MasterCAM. Would that satisfy the computation of the kinematic motion requirement before processing the G code? Checked out the work, looks very promising. Hope he keeps it up. Hopefully a version for Mach 4 will pop up soon. I'm interested in the Industrial version but if I could get away with Mach 3 / CAM combo that would be great. This will be a project but hope to usher the machine into the modern age soon using this software (it was built in the early 90's). Is there anything that I could buy ahead of time to prepare the machine for a smooth transition to the software? Comms, USB conversion, hardware. etc?

Thanks so much.

Hello, Came across this software looking for alternative solution to retrofitting a new controller on a Tarus 5 axis Model CM5P. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? Being that I am getting back into CNC and picked this up for a great deal what should be on the shopping list in order for Mach 4 to (possibly) work? Appreciate the feedback and open to ideas.

Thanks,
Bob
