What do most people use as PC's for their mach3 installs. I'm not sure if I'm better off getting a touch screen pc based install and mounting that in the cabinet where my heidenhain currently lives, or just getting my hands on an old panasonic toughbook with touch screen?

Hood, the only think putting me off the CSMIO/IP-A is the lack of user manual in English, is there much too it, could I get away with google translate?

Thanks Zafar and Hood for your input. I am going to going down the route of the CSMIO/IP-A route. If I wanted tap threads on the mill, I'm assuming I'd need to add some sort of RPM sensor onto my spindle motor??

I've just took the side of the machine and the servo drivers are

Bosch Servo Drive Heidenhain Controller PN Z15-1-240V

Does this help at all?

Sorry to be so lame, I assume the drivers and the amp are on the same board? I also guess these are the devices at the bottom of the cabinet? I'll take the side off an have a look in the morning
