General Mach Discussion / Thinking of buying Mach3

« on: July 22, 2006, 11:25:19 PM »

 HI Everyone,

              I am considering  of getting mach3 to controll a homemade cnc router/engraver and I have a  question.

          Do I need encoders  on the stepper motors to let the mach3 know whats going on?
             I plan on using a driver board from hobbycnc and was wondering if this would be suitable? I am new at cnc.
         Any comments are appreciated. Regards Charlie
