Thanks to all. This will make a very inexpensive solution. 

I'm making a auto positioning stop for my chop saw.  To buy one is 15K - I'll have less than $400 in it.

So the smoothstepper plugs to the computer via USB - The smooth stepper to existing board via parallel cable? Sorry if I'm slow in getting this.

My first question and I'm sure I know what the answer is going to be.  NO  A USB to parallel adaptor won't work?

Second - It looks like this replaces the old board that the drives are wired to.  So I just need to connect existing steppers?

Thanks

About 15 yrs ago I built a small CNC it used a parallel port and I ran Mach.

8 yrs ago I bought a Thermwood 45 - 5' X 10' bed.  Since then I haven't used my home made machine.  I now want to re purpose it. 

Can I run mach3 from my laptop with no parallel port?  If so how?

Thanks
