Yes, free. I'm using it and I made a few parts. Really good software!

If you only need to make 2D parts, is enough.

Yes Tweakie, With a 12V DC fan is easy but with a 220V AC spindle we should see what happens, but nothing good for sure. Hahaha!

Thanks Tweakie.

I bought it in ebay, it's a very cheap temperature controller.

I wanna show my solution for the water spindle, it's working so good.

At 35 degrees the fans and LED's switch on, at 33.9 off.

I couldn't find so many information about this so I wanna share my solution.

General Mach Discussion / MACH 3 installation in a Laptop

« on: December 15, 2011, 02:22:54 AM »

Yes, you can use a laptop to control Mach3 with a SS.
You don't need to install the Parallel port driver.
The manual is here:

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 on Windows 8 working well

« on: November 29, 2011, 11:01:47 PM »

Yesterday I installed Windows 8 Developer to have a look to this OS. I installed Mach3 on it and seems to work well.
In a few months Microsoft will release the final version so if Mach3 is working, I think is a good new.
