Mach4 General Discussion / Should I get mach4 or 3?
« on: August 23, 2016, 11:11:04 AM »
My diy cnc is done-ish, and I've almost gotten the accuracy I want out of the demo version of mach3, but low and behold, mach4 exists, and eventually I would assume mach3 would fall out of favor.
Is there any reason I wouldn't want mach4 instead of mach3? My machining will consist of
-3 axis milling (no spindle control or anything yet, but eventually!)
-occasional 4th axis milling
-probe (I downloaded the probeit wizard which works /great/ does this exist in mach4?
Can I import my mach3 configuration into mach4?
