I got my drivers from www.lowcostretrofits.com.au they have a great website with prices etc and I found them great to deal with. I am a total dope as well but I found reading all the posts a great help with understanding this whole CNC thing

Jacko, just backing up what Hood said about the help you will get from Brian to give you some confidence. I was totally new to all things re cnc about 2 months ago and with a few e mails to Brian or Art I am up and running.

OK, I get it, the max speed set in motor tuning gives the rapid travell and the cut speed is set by the code

How do I download Lazy Cam. I have done it once and all I get is an xml file in the Mach 3 directory, nothing in the file menu to click on. I am using Mach 3 1.84
