    Light Machines 0400 cnc lathe help

    I acquired a light machine 0400 cnc lathe with control box I already have mach3 on an taig cnc mill (gecko) was wondering if anyopne can point me in the right direction on how to proceed converting this machine to use mach3 and does anyone have any control boxes ready to go that will convert this machine to mach 3? Machine is in very good condition I am also looking at cost trying to keep it low as possible and still have a dependable lathe. Thanks in advance

    If your lathe uses the same controller card as the Spectralight mill, then this may work for you. This fellow built a cable to drive the Spectralight from the parallel port, eliminating the need for the controller card and OEM software.
