General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 on a laser cutter...

Engraving on a laser means cycling the beam (dot) on and off very rapidly and sometimes changing the power while moving the X and Y. Mach3 I am sure is not anywhere close to fast enough. You can do a solid line engraving, or cutting without issue I am sure. But in this regard the Chinese DSP controller is the way to go, along with the software for that controller.
I have to disagree.
Whilst the DSP controller may be superior to Mach when it comes to laser control Mach3 can, for example, perform laser engraving operations with great precision. This laser produced lithophane is just 50mm square.
