General Mach Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!
« on: December 14, 2009, 03:15:42 PM »
Hello,
I have built my own CNC engraving/light milling machine. Have tried two other control programs but Mach3 seems to contain more information in an easily accessed way. Of course lots of information is what a new user needs but having it in a graded form (it goes from basic to more complex as needed) is a must. Just watching the video on home and limit switches changed my ideas on machine configuration. Mach3's machine coordinates which are basic references starts the new user on the right track. I also like the way work fixtures are easily set up. Can't wait to give it a try. Dave Anderson
