General Mach Discussion / Cincinnati Sabre 750 retrofit to Mach 3?
« on: March 20, 2010, 12:04:07 PM »
Hello all,
I have a Cincinnati Sabre 750 running an Acramatic 850 control. The hardware is in great shape, and if you know how to talk to the original control it does a good job machining, still has tight tolerances, etc.
However, I can't interface with it easily and still trying to figure out the DNC to drip feed due to lack of space. Also the computer is a time bomb, the slightest thing that goes out can and will cost an arm and a leg.
So, I'm looking to retrofit with something more modern. I was looking at the Centroid systems, but I've been reading lots of negative about Customer Service and bugs lately, someone had mentioned Mach 3 so I though I would stop by and see i anyone
has any experience with converting a large VMC to Mach 3 or if it is more a hobby style controller.
Thanks in advance,
- Matt
