An idea?

Hi folks, I've been doing something, and am trying to decide how to automate it. When i do the profile cut to release whatever im making from the board(typically 3/4") I am profiling down to .65, then another profile at a slightly slower speed from .65 to .75. Slightly less aggressive and i do a las...

Re: 10.5 and xp

I have upgraded, but because of the mindset you have, ken, i also have 4 older computers waiting in the wings because people were going to throw them away. Not all are xp, i have vista, and win7 in there too. For a hobbiest, a lil downtime is no problem. Whereas buying a 800 dollar etherboard is. I ...

Re: 10.5 and xp

You only really need to change the controller, UC300ETH will run with mach3 & Ted has already said that mach3 will run under windows 10. The UCCNC software isn't expensive though so would be best changing to that I would think as it's still supported & being developed. You can import your mach3 sett...

Re: 10.5 and xp

No question i have a old computer running my cnc. Been working on migration to windows 10. Turns out win 10 64 bit, isnt good for mach3, no parallel port support. So now I'm going down the rabbit hole of maybe changing to a uc300eth and uccnc software, or another, or just not having aspire on my sho...
