Fast forward 18 months——, any new thoughts on switching from Mach3 to Mach4?
A very good question Chuck

When transitioning from Mach3 to Mach4 we would be aware that they are two very different products (apples and oranges come to mind) but we would constantly be making comparisons between the two for ease of use, results produced, etc.
With this in mind I have found one major consideration…
The required motion controller should be chosen carefully and dependant on what your machine is to be used for.
One particular motion controller may be better at Plasma, another at Turn, another at Laser, etc. and in my case, having a multi-purpose machine, I now have five different motion controllers – each excel at a particular task.
