SmoothStepper USB / Re: Ethernet Smooth stepper and The PMDX-126

I'm not familiar with the CM-106. Although I live in the UK, I like the support I get from across the pond and wouldn't like to have to install a board with badly translated manuals and where support might be difficult. I've needed to speak to the guys at PMDX and it was a good experience. They have the technical competence and language skills to have a proper conversation that solved my problems immediately. One of the things I really like about the PMDX product range is the modular nature of their products. If you need PWM spindle control, you can add it. If you want a SmoothStepper you can add that too. It all works nicely together. The only downside is that you have to use a USB pendant and the one they recommended didn't work and I've been waiting for a replacement for 6 weeks now.
Regarding the lathe, my ACL has gang tooling rather than a tool drum unfortunately, so I'm not much help here.
