I have been happily using deskcnc for about 4 years now but would like to play with Mach3 a little. I am converting a 14x40 lathe with ball screws , geckos and DC servo motors and would like a little input on which breakout board would be best suited for my build. PWM output for vfd and spindle encodrer input are important , would also like to be able to interface , tool changer/turret , mist and flood selonoids as well as possibly a couple of aux outputs .New to mach, any advice welcome.

I thonk this is the board I am going with http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=48

I recommend the above board also. My entire set-up is about 2 years old and was constructed completely from boards from www.cnc4pc.com. Good stuff.

I used the C11G for my set up. Works great for me.

Find the best Mach3 breakout bord incl PWM analogue 0-10V output for VFD at www.cncdirect.co.za or www.leeuwinga.nl
