I cut some metal with the jog only in mach3 and everything works better then I thought it would.
I used this kit with the 4 axis and 425 oz motors

A friend of mine had the box lying around and gave to me, it is 12” x 12” x 4”
I used 4-16ga wire for the motors and 4-22ga wire for the home and limit switches the wire ties are held down with those tape blocks and I got all at the local electronics store.
