General Mach Discussion / Newbee Question... More than one machine, only one Mach3 install
« on: April 01, 2013, 07:51:22 PM »
Hello all, I'm fairly new to CNC, however I've been CAD'ing and running a PhlatPrinter for a couple of years.
My working machine is a 3-axis setup running a licensed copy of Mach3 (ver 2.6) under XP on a laptop with a USB connected smoothstepper.
I am nearing completion of a 4-axis foam cutter build.
I would like to run both machines from the same Mach3 installation. I have read over the Mach3 literature and searched the forums for information on this but have not found a discussion about this situation.
I know you can setup different profiles in a Mach3 installation, but do they allow you to run more than one machine?
Thanks for any help!!!
