One thing I'd like to see is an additional screen set for higher resolution monitors i.e. a 1920x1080 one.
The standard screen scales up fine onto a larger screen, even my 3440x1440 monster but editing the screen is a chore.

Or has anyone any tips on how to rescale the entire screenset?

It would be fantastic to have Spline and Nurbs G codes like Linuxcnc

If this was implemented in Mach4 I would no longer need CAM software for my application: carved top electric guitars.

How about a tool change (macro) or whatever it is called (like 2010 screen set ) ? Now don't flame me too bad… please!

@smurph please CV control and symmetric accel/decel. Mimic Lcnc TP.. it works brilliant.

I second the 4k screen scaling!

Also, there should be a built-in updater that can be run to check for updates to Mach.

Better documentation.

Is there any chance of getting acceleration curves instead of a fixed value? The torque curve on most steppers let them accelerate fast at low speeds, but they won't be able to keep it up at higher speeds. Maybe there's already some magic working in the depths of the programming that takes care of it?

I would love USB microscope support for zeroing similar to what one can do with LinuxCNC

Basically just embedding a video from a USB microscope using e.g. mplayer and some overlay crosshairs (plus a circle would be really nice), enter the offset from crosshair to spindle centre, click zero.

Quick, easy and cost effective way to get a pretty accurate XY zero position on a variety of setups.

That's like 4 lines of code in a macro.

Should be easy to include then ;) haha

Is it really that simple including embedding the video and overlaying crosshairs?

If you would be able to help me implement it I would greatly appreciate it, or just a point in the right direction!

Cheers
