I guess my question now is about the "Smooth Stepper". Since computers no longer put parallel ports on computers as a rule I am wondering if I should just go this route? I have a Shoptask 3in1 mill which is this particular issue, and I have a 48"x48" router table using ball screws. I also use Camtronics control boxes. One of the things about my router table is 100ipm is the best I can do and feel good I'll have no issues, loosing steps and so on, would the Smooth Stepper help me gain a little in this area? Other question being looking at the image of the Smooth Stepper does anyone make one all assembled in one box. I really don't want to spend time making/setting up a box. Plug and Play is for me.
Just sounds like maybe for future ease of updating computers this might be the way to go.
