Ok Bob, I just assumed you could get it from here.
I am

Initially I want to just do some engraving and I also have no pressing schedule. However, I have been hanging about with one thing and another for too long. Time to get started.
Paul.

Hi Bob,
Yes please!! An email will do fine.
As you say, there wasn't much with mine, just a couple of sheets.
I am struggling as a newbie to use the forum and am not sure if you can get my email address, if you can't let me know here and I will publish it.
Paul.

Hi All,
 I bought from EBay a mini mill that had been rigged with three stepper motors in place of the handwheels, it was badged "Jewelmaster". With the mill came a Stepmasternc 4 axis controller and a few sheets of paper. I was unable to do anything with the mill at the time (2007) and have only now started working out how to operate the machine. I have lost the paperwork! can anyone let me have a scan of the paperwork for the stepmaster please? I have opened the controller box and see there are some dip switches. I suspect the controller can be used "as is" but I would rather check before connecting. I intend to use Mach 3 when I do start working, assuming I don't blow anything up.

Can anyone tell me why I can't use a laptop with Mach3 and this controller? Several people including the seller said not to, but didn't explain why.
